> I got one a bit like that today. All it was, was an email from (I think) "Adam.net", a subject line saying "How do you do?" and a message text saying only "this is an html message" with an html file attached. Of course, I deleted it straight away (I'm not really very stupid). Anyone else got them? I'm just wondering whether it is possible to transmit a virus solely by an html file, because I sent a serious email to someone I don't actually know the other day and that could have been them replying.
If it was a pure HTML file, then no, it couldn't have been a virus. But JavaScript, or any kind of dynamic scripting embedded in there could have been.
