That Badtrans virus is sure getting around.  I got an unexpected
email reply to an old email today.  It was from a guy who was discussing
an antique boat we are trying to sell.  I was suspicious and first
downloaded the latest Norton virus definitions, then did a scan.
Sure enough the Norton program reported that:

"W32.Badtrans.B@mm"  and  "W32.Badtrans@mm.enc"

were in the ".txt" attachment of that email, the size of which also
made me suspicious (41,256 bytes).  Anyways I got rid of it and
wrote to the guy (in the Netherlands) that I got it from.
