THOSE 5 O'CLOCK POSTS !!!!!!!!!!!!

[hunyak]

Be careful of those posts around 5 o'clock. They are loaded with
executable code !!!!!!!!!!

Right click, properties, details, message source shows some
exe. attached. Beware.

in Outlook Express you can not get 'properties' unless
after the message is opened.

Using the MS website to view messages the properties

window does not have a details/source tab. Now what do
we do?

Er, this is an international newsgroup - when it's 5 o'clock for you, it's
not going to be for about 90% of the world's population. So saying "those 5
o'clock posts" isn't exactly helpful...Contrary to popular belief, not
everyone lives in the US of A.

Assuming you're set up for single click, put your cursor over your post,
right click, choose properties, details, message source and peruse the
message. It will show any executable code in there also without getting the
virus. Try it and then run your virus scan.

Sorry. Should have said posts with the attachments. Size is
between 13 kb and 71 kb.

Sorry, thought you were using Outlook Express to download
messages.

Do the sensible thing..... Any executable attachments - delete! Newsgroup
or wherever....

Good luck,
