I know some of you may have exchanged e-mails with Megan, so their address may be on her computer.
Be aware that her computer has been attacked by a virus or some such, and she cannot use it. In spite of this, there are e-mails arriving, purporting to be from her. So it looks like her PC has been compromised.
They start Hey!
Please delete any mails from her for the moment.

John

i do think another catter said they got a suspicious e-mail -- i think it was in the thread about Internet Explorer.

I got one. Knew as soon as I read it it wasn't from her. Did a scan real quick and all seems okay with my PC.

Thanks for the heads up, G.

Firefox is a lot safer than Internet Explorer.
