William,
If you received the attached message that you sent with your message,
with the note

Then either the auto.team.net server deleted the virus, and let you know it
USED to be attached, or your ISP scanned your incoming mail, detected the
virus, and deleted it, substituting the message.
auto.team.net (our "List") will not accept, nor forward attachments, or HTML
code, so it is extremely doubtful they even accepted it to look at, or forward.
Your Genelogic.com may do this often with incoming mail, my ISP does.
There are viruses which infect Windows computers, mostly through Internet
Explorer, and insert viruses. This can, be designed to go through an
individual's address book and send messages to anyone listed, FROM anyone
listed -- not necessarily the infected one. Real pain, and difficult to trace.
I, personally, use Netscape's latest 7.x browser/mail system. I find it far
superior to the MS offering, but a bit slower in initial loading, as it is
CRAMMED with great new features and loads all your sent/saved mail files so
they are instantly available. One is the "partial" downloading of a message.
Just the header, maybe a word or two. Setable in "preferences". That way you
can look at the header (or preferably the expanded header) to see if there are
strange addresses, senders, etc. Takes a little practice, but there are sites
to tell you what to look for.
These can then be deleted from the ISP server, never get into your computer,
and those you can recognize are GONE!
Give the new Netscape a try. It is free. You can get AOL Instant Messenger
FREE. When it installs, if does NOT change your current browser, unless
specifically instructed, but DOES bring over all your "Favorites" (bookmarks),
contacts, addresses, etc. ready to rock and roll.
