    Sorry for my SpanGlish!

    For several months I'm getting ugly envelopes (*.eml files) all over my files trying to open IE or Media Player.
    Working with some HTML strange lines like this

    <SCRIPT language= "JavaScript ">window.open( "readme.eml ", null, "resizable=no,top=6000,left=6000 ")</SCRIPT>

    appear and IE don't find server or simply open Media Player
    with no success.

    If somebody got this problem or similar will be great to hear
    an opinion. Each of this envelopes is more than 10Mb.

    Thanks in advance

    abril2001.

    I think your computer is infected with the nimda worm.

    You will need to do a virus scan - there are several free ones on the web- pcpitstop, trend micro (housecall) and I believe McAfee has a free scan as well.
    I believe Mcafee also has a standalone tool you can download to remove this worm.

    Good Luck!

    Thank you, Jazcan.

    You are right. Nimda was in my computer.
    I did a deep scanning and found many *.eml files.

    I hope everything will be OK now.

    Is wonderful to get help like yours. I would like
    to help somebody someday.
