Christoph, you get this message from ScanMail or Norton Anti-Virus when they are running on a mailhub or smtp server. It is the administrator of these virus-scanning programs who select the option to send a message back to the originator that a virus has been detected in a mail from him/her. The intended recipient will get a mail message with a link to a database where info regarding the intercepted mail is held. In this case the originator was Team-Ada and thus all members has got this message. To avoid distributing viruses many list servers purge attachments from the mails before sending them to their members. I have Norton Anti-virus om my home PC but it is not an integral part of my mail program (Lotus Notes), so it will only warn me when I actually have tried to open the attachment. regards /søren
