[filmscanners] RE: Bugbear virus

["Vincent Cleij" <vcleij@planet.nl>]

Hi,

No, if you install the MIME-header patch or use a recent version of IE it
only protects you from running viruses automatically. Your computer can
still be infected if you open an attachment that is actually a virus. But if
you do not have this security vulnerability in IE and you are very careful
with opening attachments you are better protected.


Patch from Microsoft:

Arthur have downloaded the fix... but not used it as i don't think i'm
infected... your line about version 6 and above being immune... does that
mean i'm safe? Using OE6.

Cheers...
