Exactly. Which is why I only sent headers in response to Brad's message. Much
to my regret a bit later, of course, I should have done my own research
before responding. 

Oh and Brad - thanks but no thanks to be labelled 'asshole' - however well
you meant it. The only reason I responded was that this virus does something
I hadn't seen before (impersonating a Microsoft security update) and hence
caught my eye when I first received it.

Thanks,
Ward.
