I've been getting 3 or 4 a day know, my anti-virus program just quarantines the offending attachment into a vault and I jsut go in and delete it off the system and then delete the mail afterwards.

The link posted doesn't work "Page cannot be displayed"

The link works fine for me m8.

I know most anti-virus handles these sufficiently but an email preview program such as Mailwasher might be a useful addition - that way it never even get's near your Pc
