Thanks Pat, I just had one of those messages myself, but it was from a
list that I wasnt subscribed to so didnt open the attachment, not that I
ever do open attachments if I dont know who they are from, also the bug was
mentioned on the radio news broadcast this morning.
Regards
Patti

Again, scan you computer regularly, at least once a week. Even though I
scanned mine Saturday night, I will do it again tonight to be sure.
Also, don't forget to renew your anti-virus protection. I use Norton
but their are others. Also, DON'T open attachments when you don't know
what's in them, even if they are from a friend or relative.
