This morning I received 871 emails, of that number, 726 had the
following subjects:
Wicked screensaver, Thank you, That Movie, Your application, Your
details, My details, Details, Approved.
These were sent by an infected computer with the Sobig, mass mailing
worm. Please read:

Again, you MUST use anti virus software for your computer. You can use
free or paid virus protection. If you are new to computers, here is
Rootsweb's tutorial on viruses/worms:

In the meantime, don't open mail with attachments. Send them to trash
immediately and then empty you trash bin. You can set you filters to
the above subjects and they will automatically go to trash.
Well, I am off for the day to take my grandson sightseeing and then
tonight to a Broadway play, hopefully when I get back I won't have
another 900 emails...
