Some Hoe-bag Skank sent me an email with the following file names as attachments;

EnvCowboy.Doc & Att00009.txt

Norton Anti-Virus quarantined the files before any damage was done.

Keep an eye on your emails folks!

Mark,
I don't know what it was. I just get rid of them as quickly as I can. I'm paranoid about crap like that.

I always look at the quarantine in Norton, its always fun seeing what they're trying to get you to run.

I've never seen Klez sent as a .doc file though. It could have been a Word macro virus.

The "Att00009.txt" is added by some email clients; this is a harmless file.

You can look in the quarantine, or the activity log, to find out what virus it caught.

Just make sure you keep your virus defs up to date all the time and run regular scans.
