    I opened a attachment from an e-mail from unknown person, bad idea. It is something I rarely do. It was a drawing of a girl in bathing suit and said "worlds most beautiful woman, and tag your it." Has anyone heard of this before? Could it be a virus? I am running Norton 2001 with latest definitions, nothing on the scan. I also ran Housecall from Micro online, again nothing. I would appreciate any feedback. Everything seems normal after a re-boot. Thnak you John

    A quick look at Norton's doesn't show anything. If you are updated with definitions, I wouldn't worry about it. What was the name of the attachment?

    It sounds like one of those harmless email "tag" things that get sent around the Web. As long as you have an up-to-date AV program to scan attachments, you should have no problem at all with uninvited digital guests.
