Virus Alert
The email is from Stephanie@themast... and the subject line is Hi
It promises some screensaver that you will like. It is a pretty nasty worm from what I hear on TV and it has hit a lot of people. Erases program files or something?? I have had this show up in my email twice in the last hour so watch for it and do not open that attachment.

It can be an email from anyone that has your email address and is using a MS product (including Macs)...
Heres a good link on it: http://securityresponse.symantec.com...oner.a@mm.html Time to update your virus software Nice the way it copies your key strokes and creates a back door for external access.

I just got another email from Dennis@Themast... So I am guessing that the whole system over there must be infected and I am in their address book.
Amazing what people think is funny

Yes,
I received that before reading this thread. Naturally I deleted the email immediately. I delete all unsolicited emails w/ attachments. I don't care if it's from someone I know or not.

also if you are using outlook, you should turn off the email preview, that way you cant open an email until you are ready...
