IMPORTANT-VIRUS ON THIS LIST??

I just (three minutes ago) received another suspicious e-mail, with no content in the e-mail, and a vague title  "Re:Egyptian Journalist opinion".  The attachment ended in .scr or something like that, which means that it was not a text file, but rather some kind of program.   All these characteristics fit the pattern of one of those viruses which get into someone's computer without their knowing and then immediately sending it out to everyone in that person's address book.  I suspect that it is probably circulating through either wsn, or psn, or possibly, but not likely ahs (although if I had opened it, it probably would be circulating through all three.)

 

I'm almost positive that I deleted it without it going anywhere else, but if any of you get an e-mail like that, DON'T OPEN IT.  It might be tempting, like touching wet paint, but don't do it. Delete it immediately, and then delete it again from your "discard" or "trash" folder.

 

Good Luck,
