This is just a "heads up" for everyone who is using shipping software from that company who has brown trucks.

I was suprised to find that MY machine had a virus on it a few days ago considering that I have three different levels of virus protection. Email virus scan at my ISP, emial virus scan on my mail server and NAV corp on my machine. So I was amazed to see that I had a virus on a file called NetHelp.exe in this shippers software directory. The virus was w32.mylife.c and was attached to the fore mentioned file that was sent out as an update to the shippers software. I then rescaned all the company machines and found the virus attached to that same file only on the machines that had he shipping software one it.

So, if anyone is using this companys software I would suggest making sure those machines are scanned.
