my system is messed up

That damn kerman post has screwed up my system. I can only get this email window to run full screen or on the taskbar. Can't shrink it down to the smaller window. My virus checker doesn't show anything, but the internet is acting flaky. What did the message do to my system besides open up a dozen browser windows? dangNabbit! dave henrie

When I see a binary in a non -binary newsgroups, posted by someone with a name of Mongrel Mind who has never posted here before I'll be damned if I am going to open it. I have no idea why people do these kinds of things, I do know that as long as there are a million suckers out there to trick they will keep doing it........ Regards, Anthony Bulloch

Well, I didn't even see it had an att., I just clicked on "next" (I sort by thread) and my Netscape blew up basically.......oh well, no harm done here, maybe because I run Win2k ?

Dude, if you're just paging through the messages, you wouldn't know who wrote it, what was in it, or what(if any) attachments were in in until you clicked on 'next message'... No need to call someone a 'sucker' over it...geez. Eldred -- Dale Earnhardt, Sr. R.I.P. 1951-2001 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett F1 hcp. +16.36...Monster +360.54...

If you're using Outlook Express it is quite simple to stop the active content of email & news messages. right click on internet explorer. Properties->security. Select the Zone for "unsecure Sites" modify this zone to highest security, no active stuff allowed. (disable all active elements like java, javascript, vbscript, activex .... then go to outlookexpress, extras->options->Security and select the "unsecure zone" for outlook express. i can provide an email which checks your oe-security status.

Well, using a Micro$shite product (OE) I never have problems. I read with a finger on the 'down' arrow, and the closest I get is to think "look, this message has got an attachment - does some muppet *really* think I'm going to open it?" Even if I do click on the paper clip icon, I'll get a filename and when it has two extensions I'll make my own mind up before clicking on the filename itself... ;-) Jonny

This paticular one took off the moment I clicked on the subject line. A few dozen email windows later, and several dozen error messages it was ctrl-alt-delete time. And when I rebooted, everything was scrambled. Even my Zone Alarm settings got changed. I had to re-enable a lot of connections. dave henrie "Jonny Hodgson" <jp_>

Maybe, but you obviously have some computer knowledge, and have changed some settings. Doesn't the default install leave everything open?
