I just caught a news bit about more email scams - so be very cautious about opening any that you aren't sure of who the sender is.

Some will say they are from a friend , family member, school mate...when they really will have malicious software or take you to a bad site.

My Internet Service Provider has been catching these as viruses. I've been getting about 4 or 5 of them a day!

I just get notified that I have viruses in my vault and would I like to have them cleaned and delivered. I just reply no and they get deleted. So they don't even make it to my inbox.

Subject: You've received a greeting ecard from a Worshipper!
is the latest one!

Virus: W32/Zhelatin.gen!eml

So far I haven't had any problems. Some people just have way too much time on their hands!
