Hi All:

I am running Linux RH 6.2 as firewall/route. recently I see my windoz boxes 
got virus.
the virus is not the SoBig.F one but the old P???.A (don't remember the 
name, and it only found on .exe files)
How is it possible to get virus by doing:

1. surf on the internet.
2. readmail from web -- by using web mail such as hotmail, yahoo mail (read 
only knowing people's mail, attached files open only txt, doc, fig and jpg 
files)

how does the virus spread out throught the network system?

Thanks
