I recently received a suspicious file called 'AVP_Updates.EXE' in an email from Rik Shipley. My suspicions were justified as this turned out not to be an anti-virus program as the name suggests but a particularly nasty virus (just as well I didn't run the program!). See below for details. http://www.cai.com/virusinfo/encyclopedia/descriptions/mtx.htm I wouldn't recommend you open any EXE files you receive unexpectedly in the next few days. Especially from ex-UTI players! Ben
