Could someone explain to me how I was infected by this virus? Using w98, Mcafee av is right up to date and warned me the virus was in an e-mail attachment so I chose the delete option. All over thought I, not so. McAfee was now frozen but everything else was OK. In the end I downloaded a Mcafee stinger which removed the bug and now all is OK. How could this happen and what is this I hear about a problem that has long been known about OE and attachments to e-mails?
