You may want to check your setting for McAfee it now maybe set .
(do not open attachments ).
Most email programs have a header that it can use to open emails (attachments) but
McAfee may want to put it on the HD and take a look at it b/4 you do just to make
sure it's clean. (no Virus, it's just trying to help) also you may want to disable
the Auto Update item in McAfee/Control Panel/add and remove programs item.
Take control of your machine and you will be a happy win2k user.
Have a good one.
