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,
Alan Spector

lots of comments about viruses, etc.
