The virus/whatever attachment seems to be the Hanson.scr
that we had roaming around here a few weeks ago. I had
deleted it unopened but Netscape sets up files of all
mail--deleted or not--under Programs, so under Programs I
still had it in Inbox and Trash, which I guess is where
McAfee found it.

I also found a note from Neville on this list dated Nov 29
that *his* McAfee had detected Hanson.scr, so I now must
leave you all to go write a note to McAfee asking them why
it took them a month to detect Hanson on my computer.
