I have so far had two emails that look like a potential virus....they arenot getting pcked up by MacAfee with the latest updates.

It comes as an email from

When viewed or selected in outlook 2000, it first attempts to download a language (never gets as far as saying what, suspect Chinese) and then opens what looks like a VB Window asking you to select a download location (omly option is North America) to download a windows update.

The window cannot be cancelled, and requires taskmon Outlook shutdown.

I have disabled VBS scripting and it still executes.

This looks totally like a virus to me. Anyone else had this?

I have tried to send a copy to the AVERT lab, but I cannot bundle it in a zip archive (as selecting it cuases the lock up) so I dont think it got through.
 
Edit: the message comes from dfgfd@jdhf.com (obviously random typing!) with a subject line that has characters not recognised by my system, non cyrillic, I suppose.
