Might I suggest you check this out before suggesting that this is a
virus?
Perhaps the reason that MacAffee or Norton have not detected it is that
it is NOT a virus.
I have this exe. file on my computer dated 2-18-2002. Seems as how this
has 'presented itself' before by another well-meaning member of this or
another scout list.
I suspect it is NOT a virus. I have no intention of deleting it at this
time as it might be important to my system. I think that since it has
done NO apparent harm in 7+ months that it is not a virus. Let's see
what responses others who received your warning reply to you or the
list.
