Volks, There are widespread reports that another Microsoft Outlook worm virus is about to hit today in the U.S. It hit in Europe yesterday. An attachment to an email - AnnaKournikova.jpg.vrs - spreads it, but only if you open the attachment. So ignore the perceived chance to look at a picture of the attractive Russian pro tennis player. Delete the message with its attachment and you will be safe. If you open it and use MicroSoft Outlook as your email program, you then send it to everyone on your email list and it goes round and round on the Internet as long as people are opening the file. Hope this helps someone. Sam Walters |
