Gary, The guy who set up our computer network at my office said you should also avoid ".ocr" files.

I did not open it as I am suspicious of most exe or vob files coming from the list. May we as list member have an agreement not to send "exe" or "vob" files by way of the vanagon list. That way when it happens we know to avoid them. Web addresses and "most" pdf files should be safe and I feel are required in many cases. And remember, you list member, who sent the viral .exe file to the list, we as members are as guilty as you if we choose to open an exe file. It is no fault but are own. So my question, is there any other file types I should be avoiding? regards gary
