Thanks for the warning. I haven't been on-line on my home system for awhile. I'll make sure when I check my e-mail to watch for it.

what is the name of the virus?

it looks like somone who has malfadores email in there address book has the virus which is passing itself around.

I do not recall the name of the virus, I deleted the email and sent Malfador a note.

Some people do not know about these kind of mimic emails and will open an attachment thinking it to be lagit.

I hope no one here has fallen for any of these. Remember I will never send you a file unless you know it is coming. I will seldom open a file from anyone unless I know it is coming and have scanned it first.
