Please view ALL attachments as suspicious until proved otherwise. Scan with a reputable anti virus BEFORE opening, even attachments supposedly from people you know. I (touch wood) have managed to remain virus free this way. Viruses are sneaky and can use faked E-mail addys,thankfully when a friend of mines name popped up in my mailbox I scanned before opening only to find a virus. I checked the IP address, it wasn't hers. One of her contacts had had their address book copied by a virus. THIS IS HOW THEY SPREAD

looks like standars junk mail to me. General rule of thumb - if you get an email from an adress that you don't recognise, don't open it - especially if the subject is "Important", "Re: Your message" or something equally "eye catching" Paul

Hi all, Sorry for the delayed response, had to go off line to blast another email with a virus attached. Watch out for emails from elo62at(.)aol(.)com with subject "Important!" and no text. Nasty little fella. The previous from Ciro was a direct email to my personal inbox. I've put this notice on here and other sites as they got my rellie names, details and addy from one of the sites. Mel.
