Hello Lee,

LL>>> This email has been checked for viruses by AVG.

WD>> I'm wondering ... how many virusses can there be in a Fidonet message
WD>> except for the message itself ... of course....

LL> I had two messages detected as infected in a download a few hours ago.

Very strange, because FidoNet EchoMail is for 99 %  text only
There is very seldom machine code in it, so not infected at all.

LL> Both messages quarantined, safely tucked away causing no harm.
LL> One message was in netmail, the other in fidonews.

The only thing I can think of is a weblink in the message where you
double clicked on. The virus comes from that website,
not from that FidoNet text message.

LL> Both downloaded from Bj”rn's system.

Let's see what Bjorn can tell us about his system?

LL> How to eliminate the avg message from my reader software
LL> is a problem I have yet to solve.  Perhaps that is a virus
LL> in and of itself ...

It seems too ;-).

Henri.
