What no one still has answered though:  Can any known virus attack a 
mapped network drive?  If so, can it clean off the IFS?

        Subject:        Re: VIRUS Alert for the LIST

As a precaution we turned off ALL attachments to ALL company mail last
week.  This has resulted in a few inconveniences -- but --  It would
prevent us from receiving bad e-mail such as this one.  You may want to
consider it.  Keep in mind that the body of the message is a text
attachment so you will probably want to let that one through.  Everybody
seems to be trying to write the "killer" y2k virus!
