i just received (and did not open) one of the email viruses
(the one that looks like it is from Micrsoft).
Without touching it, my "save as " window popped up
to save a file. I cancelled the pop up, then deleted the email.
Now if i go into deleted email folder, i get same pop up to
save a file (DELETE.TXT).
am i missing a setting to prevent this (i do not auto open
email)? Is this something new?
