[Trombone-l] Virus?

[Bill Dinwiddie]

Dear Friends,

If you have been receiving as much spam as I have in recent weeks, then you 
know how much of a pain this can be. It can also be dangerous to your 
computer's health.

Over the past two days I have received  a certain e-mail which I am almost 
sure is not only spam, but probably a virus too. I urge you to delete this 
message as soon as you see it, if you happen to get one of these. I believe 
they originate in Russia. DO NOT open these e-mails, just delete them.

I almost fell for it, as there are similar legitimate sites on the Internet, 
and I started to open it. Then my brain kicked in and I stopped it before it 
had a chance to download. A subseqent virus check shows my computer to be 
virus-free.

The text you will see on the first page is similar to this:

*************************************************************

"Hello, you have just received a postcard from a good friend. Click HERE to 
view the PostCard. To read your postcard open the file."

****************************************************************

Once again, DO NOT open the file, just delete.

I find that I have to delete more than half of my e-mail without reading it. 
Please be vigilant!
