I recently sent a message to somebody which had an "application/ms-tnef"
attached to it. My computer is doing a few strange things recently (eg. my
wife got a Reboot? prompt a couple of days ago).

I've scanned my system with two up-to-date scanners (PC-CILLIN housecall,
NOD32) but not found anything.

There seem to be a lot of nasties around at present. Could this be one? Is
this a common type of attachment for nasties?

Thanks,

Robert.

It's normal - generated by Outlook when it sends in native format.
