I think that there is a little misunderstanding (I am guessing but it comes
from a professional background).  I think that the preferences that really
affect this are the E-Mail client preferences that are found in the Outlook
Options; Security Options; Attachment Security.  This is where settings
would be setup, not in Explorer, IMHO.

Ugh!!!  I checked the preferences on Internet explorer and
Java was enabled--so I turned it off but looks like it is too
late to avoid this virus.  We don't have a virus checker thing--
I'm so great with this computer lingo!  Is that what we need
at this point?  Many thanks for your help Leigh.
