I didn't say it was a virus. Hmm. I'm using Outlook Express for ease of
reading and attachment access. (I'm on my home box,which is a Windows box so
my daughter can use it for games, and your message I commented on shows this
in the raw source: The "begin risky.vbs" at the start of the message is
causing it to show up now as an attachment, not as content, which is why I
mocked it.

    begin risky.vbs

    ntp should be running at a high priority. If not then it isn't being
    started correctly. When running at high priority your backup shouldn't
    affect it assuming the backup is running at a higher priority.

Hmm. It's not my newsreader adding it, you seem to use "begin risky.vbs"as
your reply header. Can I ask you not to use that as your reply header? It
causes confusion and causes your content to show up as a *.vbs attachment,
and forces various readers to attempt to deal with your text as an
attachment, which it is not (which I see upon examination).
