check your 'from' if it's nobody you know delete it, if your curiousity gets the best of you scan it with your anti-virus first and then check it out. My hubby will soemtimes have to go to soembody's home and fix their computers for them where they have gotten a virus but it's usually on a system that doesn't have an anti-virus program running on it.

I haven't heard of this one but I'd just delete it! It's such a shame some people have nothing better to do than make up this junk!

D E L E T E.... I don't open anything, no matter who it says it is from that has any attachment unless I know I have requested it.

MY LIFE MOTTO: "If in doubt, DON'T!"

Safest email practice is NEVER open attachments.

You can right click on them and save to your 'my documents' folder, then scan with (UP TO DATE) Anti-virus software.

Under no circumstances!!!! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER!
open an attachment if it is an Executable file, in other words if it ends in .exe

When I worked in IT industry, opening an executable file meant INSTANT DISMISSAL! that should telll you how serious a no-no, this is.

This of course means you should also be EXTREMELY careful when downloading programs from websites, you need to be sure they are reputable suppliers.
Same applies to free screensavers.
Hope this helps a little, hugs n roses, M

I got this one from a friend, even though he knows I HATE spiders. It is quite safe.
