I am surprised too. I always thought a virus had to be an exec or at the
very least a macro that your word processor will compile and execute.
Now if suddenly Notepad or Outlook Express start executing macros were all
in trouble. When you read an attached text file it's the same as when you
download an exec. Heck we could be getting a virus from CCC because the page
you're reading could contain a virus.
I surely hope I'm right about this ;)
