I received the "WORM_BADTRAN.B" worm from a German today too. I saved the file, which had been named "IMAGE.doc.pif" and checked it with PC-cillin. PC-cillin was able to get rid of it since I hadn't opened it.
My first e-mail virus ever . . . whew . . .
Your first virus? You have to get out more on the internet groups. You have been leading a sheltered life.
If I go two days without getting a virus warning I think my virus scan is not working. If you recognize the sender, e-mailing him or her about the virus may not work because some viruses will alter the e- mail addresss so it won't go to the apparent sender. Use the phone to alert the person if it is practical. -Tom
