Re: [APML] OT Possible Virus

 Brian...

     Any .EXE file should be scrutinized... but at a glance the AdbeRdr60_ 
would seem to be Adobe Reader... although these are most often .PDF files. Save 
the entire e-mail, without opening, to an easy to find location such 
as 'Desktop'... make sure your AV program has the very latest updates... Right 
Click the Desktop copy and select 'Scan With (your AV software)'... if it's OK, 
open it and see what it is... otherwise, just dump it.
