Ya...it's a virus. Deleting is good...don't open the attachment!

I finally managed to program Norton to screen my email...now it catches SnowWhite and puts in in quarantine...then I delete it. I don't think there's any way to stop it from coming in the first place.

Norton has caught Snowhite for me a couple of times, the very moment it hit my mail box. Good old Norton!!

When that email arrives, is the Sender or the Subject line always the same? If it is you could make an email rule (depending on what program you use) to block it from coming back in.

I use outlook express. I never really paid attention to the email....I see hahaha and delete it right away.

You should be able to create a Message Rule to block any email with the "hahaha" in the subject line. Sometimes the rules are tricky to set up, you need to send some test emails to see if they work correctly.

I use a script trap and the black ice firewall to go along with good ol' Norton, so hahaha just giggles away into zapruder land. Go to WebAttack.com, they even have FREE downloads for everything you can dream of, when it comes to computer usage.
