Outlook Express 6.0 and False Virus Warnings

[Mike McMullen]

Hi all,

I have an employee who is using OE 6.0. Whe she tries to
attach a file to an email and send it, she and I receive the following
information that a virus has been detected:

The following e-mail messages were found to have viruses in them:

    Sender: kendra at loanprocessing.net
IP Address: 192.168.1.61
 Recipient: mcarlson at bridgecap.com
   Subject: Fw: File Number 12234439  HUD-1 for Hoang (Tac)
 MessageID: i47H0cLb029178
    Report: MailScanner: No programs allowed (msg-24336-96.txt)


However, if you look at msg-24336-96.txt it contains the body of her
email. See below:


HUD-1

We all run Norton Anti-virus on desktops so I'm pretty certain there isn't
any virus in this message body. I pulled it up in VI and it's just plain text.

We are using MS 4.29.7-1 on FC1. Anybody have an idea what might be
occuring here? No one else in the office is having this problem.

TIA,

Mike
