I received an email which said Happy New Year in the subject line which had
a virus as described below.
Do NOT open it!
I don't know whether this hotmail user knows they have a virus or not...but
as the reference is to Casteels I thought I would let every one know.
My address definitely came from this list.
There is a possibility that this is a false alarm...but my av software has
been on target so far.
