SMTP is

an e mail \"server\" that comes with the OS, it should come disabled by default (unless you are running an e mail

server) but that\'s not Micro$oft\'s way. It is not an e mail \"client\" that you use (Eudora, Outlook etc. )

to send e mail. So short answer \"no\"!

It should be noted that some viri come with their own SMTP servers

built in. So you will definately have to get rid of the virus. If I remember properly this particular virus also is

set to launch a DDOS attack against some specific sites (in Germany I think--the target has changed a couple of

times) at the end of April.

Good Luck!!
