When I was working at NASA, we had some very sophisticated software to detect viruses and other things. I used a program called 1st Page. I only used it occasionally and every time I started it, notices would be sent out to IT Security (which I was a part of) stating there was a virus. We traced it to a Java Script file that was needed by 1st Page to run. There was no virus.
Glenda, thanks for the post. It is better to be safe than to be sorry. Anytime a virus is suspected, it is a good thing to stop what you are doing and check it out. Having worked in IT Security, and like others who have worked in that field, we just have this built in desire to click on it to see what makes it tick. That is not a recommended procedure.
Thanks again.

It is what it is, and then it is what you make of it.
