thanks, kat...you saved me the trouble of posting that link...

Folks, these guys are getting bolder, cleverer and greedier...until Bill G gets his new 'security' system woorking...(maybe 2 years, he says), you need to treat **EVERY** email with a measure of suspicion and NOT open any attachments unless you know where they came from...READ the headers and scan the spelling and syntax, and you will usually see when it's some virus writer from Maylasia trying to do naughty things!

Ebay and Yahoo and PayPal..etc..do NOT send this sort of message.
