Hi,

Has anybody come across the following problem?

AVG Free Edition (Virus Database: 487 Release Date: 2nd August, 2004)
reports that the computer could be infected by a virus - JS/Fortnight
in \Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\Default.A4E\Bookmarks.html

Is this overprotective AVG or a problem with Firefox? Any ideas?
Please advise?

Try sending an email to yourself with OE. Has anything been added to the

As a follow up to this strange little problem, I've discovered that
if I un select the "Check Macro Viruses" then I don't get AVG telling
me there's a problem with JS/Fortnight. (Running Window$ 98)

I've deleted the Bookmarks.html and set it up again but the
same problem occurs. I've used several anti virus and
mal ware programs which report nothing there to worry about.

Also, sent an email to myself with OE. Nothing added to signature.
