Just quick a follow up. Loaded IE5.5 & everything is fine (this time anyway), no
C:\temp\temporary internet files folder. I finally checked on a rarely used email
acct and found a virus that could only have come from a spammer. This acct gets a
few spams a month, nothing else, so I know it was the spammers PC that got infected,
rotflmao. That made my day, never been sent a virus/worm before! (I felt so all alone
& unwanted, till 2day!), never run antivirus software, never been infected. Of course
it means EVERYONE who is on the spammer mail list will get that! Heads up for a 55.536K
attachment called "mail_body.zip" Just downloaded it, looks like it's been sitting
on my mail server since 11/23/05. http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/virusinfo/virus.aspx?id=49473
