Look out for the virus

[Bart Leetch]

Not only can they send it to you faking some Else's address but when they use your address & it doesn't go through it come back to you. But my anti-virus caught it. But it was already opened & not an attachment.

This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

Yea....they already notified us about this new virus going around. Corporate notified us to warn us about such email. If you don't recognize what it is or who it came from......when in doubt.....

<b>delete it!</b>

Yea, that's a nasty one...and something that's gonna catch a lot of folks unawares, especially folks who are minimally facile with computers. Combining a spoofed address in the browser display with a skillfully done fake web site is a killer app for the identity theft community.

I've gotten it 6 times in the last 2 days. :eek: fortunatly it's gone straight to the trash. I don't open nothing If I'm not expecting it.

Plus since I did away with outlook express I've had a lot less trouble!!
