Thread Name: BS: Computer Virus's
Subject: RE: BS: Computer Virus's
Today I got home after being gone 5 weeks- found three emails from the same person. The subject line said 'Hi'. The message on the one I opened said something like 'When I saw this screensaver, I immediately thought of you. I promise you will love it. I'm in a harry (sic).'

I did NOT open the attachment(s). Just expunged all three of the emails. I knew of no reason that acquaintance would send me something like that. Besides I make it a habit not to open anything I don't know is coming.

Went to the virus update and it said that this virus came out just today. I called that person from whose computer my messages had come from and she already had discovered her infection. She said the virus invaded her address book and had sent out probably hundreds of messages. Wow.
