Publisher cannot open file

[Mike Koewler]

I'm not familiar with that one. Good program, huh?

JoAnn,

I had not heard of it either until some of us started noticing AVG
wasn't stamping outbound messages or inbound ones as being certified
free of a virus. At the time, I believe it was a newer Beta version but
the one I was using (V5?) was not going to be supported any longer.
Someone suggested !avast and it has worked great.

I've been using AVG and having it check incoming and outgoing emails but
just yesterday one of the IE/OE MVPs told me it was sending attachments for
that stamp and could screw things up in OE. I turned off the outgoing
notification.

That is interesting. I turned it off for another reason. With all the
phishing and viruses going around I don't want anyone to assume that the
message is virus free. No antivirus program is 100% accurate, and I would
imagine an easy way for someone to get you to open an attachment that has a
virus is to paste the 'certified to be virus free' message at the bottom of
an infected message.

Excellent points. The moral is that you can never be too careful when it
comes to computer safety.
