Hi there, The only and very strong solution to protect Yourself against these new viruses (embedded in HTML mail) is to setup outlook: 1. set default security zone to Restricted 2. totally disable active scripting by setting custom level for restricted security zone This will protect against any scripting forms embedded in HTML mail and against the new worms using such mechanism. I don't know why list admin don't forward my previous mail to this list, where i mentioned about new type of viruses coming since user will got an answer to his question about embedding scripts in mail instead attach it to mail. So, user got an answer. I think that antivirus-developing companies should try to update their data files before new type of viruses appears.
