That's not good..
I do not have antivirus software installed, do you know of a way to clean the mess without the software?
Sorry!

I downloaded the free standard edition v7 virus software from their website...it's sweet and really easy to use. Similar to Adaware and Spybot interfaces, but for virus scanning instead.
Found and took care of the netsky virus on my machine in just a few minutes.
Thanks again!

Well you could had got it from somewhere else and it replicated his email addy from you're own address book.


But theres no way in hell you should be online without anti-virus protection.

Totally shocked that someone who's trying to run a business would be online without anti-virus protection.

In his defense though viri cannot attach to JPG, GIF, or any other picture format.

But if he zip's the pictures before sending, that's a different situation. Zipped files can have viri.

good luck and happy innoculating..
