Ron,

You might try www.mcafee.com
The sent a notice to us about "BubbleBoy"  Clip follows:
<begin clip>
VBS/Bubbleboy is a NEW type of worm: Unlike previous worms transmitted
through email, this new type of worm does not come as an executable
attachment. Instead, VBS/Bubbleboy infects PCs as soon as the transmitting
email message is opened. This is a VERY significant innovation!
Historically, it has not been possible to contract a virus or worm by merely
opening and reading an email message. This is no longer true, and
VBS/Bubbleboy marks the beginning of a more dangerous computing environment.
<end clip>
Check this out hope it helps - Jim
