You should check into this problem with your ISP. If it did work and you didn't change anything, then there is a server problem. |

You were right it was a server problem.
Thanks! |

How important is that email? I've never seen seen this message in an email. Don't change your security settings to accomodate it. The ActiveX is most likely embedded in the email and could be very hazardous to your health. At the very most, set the setting to prompt for "signed" controls and disable for "unsigned" or "not safe". Enable if you want to be the sitting duck for problems. Worth reading up a little on.
Just for the info...virus's such as the kak virus can now be spread in a VBScript, just by viewing the email. No attachment is necessary and no file needs to be opened. VBScript is a scripting language that allows developers to create a list of commands that can be executed without user interaction and frequently used to automate actions.
Unless you are a developer, you should disable Windows Scripting Host. Symantec has a little patch at http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/noscript.exe that will disable this for you.
Anyway, I would dig a little deeper. If you don't know the person that sent the email...delete it! If you do know them, I'd inquire if they have had any problems or any reason why this message would come from their email.
Don't know if this helped much, but post back if you find any answers, so the rest of us can know. |

Help!! while reading this post, I just realized that I received an email of the same variety ActiveX, my mcafee virus scan caught it and said it was the kak virus, I hit delete in the virus scan window , but nothing happened, while viewing it must have gotten through, I ran the scan of my system , but came up with nothing. Now all of my fonts are magnified. I am not sure if anything else is screwy or not? Is there a way to fix this? |
