Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
Version: 6.0.657 / Virus Database: 422 - Release Date: 13/04/2004

Firstly, consider changing your email address - you're posting it to a
public newsgroup and they are frequently harvested for spammers and virus
distributors. Then make sure you disguise your new address properly (I
recall °Mike° has referenced a url on this recently with good instructions).
Then set up a message rule to automatically delete from the server any
message containing the text that you say is in the infected mail. You'll
find message rules under Tools > Message Rules > Mail.
And lastly, make sure you have a good anti virus application, and that you
keep it up to date. I recently worked on a colleague's computer which had
over 1,000 infected files on. They had Norton installed and assumed it was
doing the job, despite not having been updated for over a year.

What would that "same thing" be?
And please turn off the broken AVG signature. It serve NO purpose.

....and with no more than a cursory glance at the dead camel jimmy clarke
decided it was time to put the World to rights with this little gem:
See your st00piD out-of-date sig ?
See the st00piD out-of-date DATE on it ?
Do you realise you are 10 (yes, TEN!!!) updates behind ?
See the button on your keyboard that says 'delete' ?
Have a guess.....

The emails probably all say
"GREETINGS TO YOU MOST WORTHY PARTNER"
Falicitations and greetings to you, most honourable (as yet unmet) person.

April 13th is not really an issue in my opinion. Those .sigs tho are the
most silly in any case as nobody can certify an email free email. Even
if its right up to the most recent .def file. As one can only write
anti-virus for already known bugs.
