83761 2002-09-27 12:23:00 Just a quick reply in response to all the suggestions before I hit the sack.

It's weird because I created a new folder in OE and copied all the emails out of the "infected" .dbx folder to the new folder.

Scanned the "infected" folder again - still has Kak. Scanned the new folder - NO Kak!

Haven't tried opening all the emails yet, will do that tomorrow.

I suspect that this is happened because I've always have auto-compact enabled in OE until just recently when I learnt that it is best to compact the folders manually. I did that for the first time a couple of weeks ago and today's virus scan was the first full hard drive scan since I did that compact. That's obviously roused Kak from its slumber like it once did a long time ago, only Norton jumped on it during the compaction at that time.

I'm falling asleep here so I'll fiddle again tomorrow. Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll look into them tomorrow as well. :-)


PS I wonder if I got this as punishment for too much kakling on PF1 this week?
