The message I got and deleted was from "Robotoguy" -- Robot not Rubat, at
least I think I recall that correctly. Clever name though-- a robot that
goes around infecting our computers.
No worries if you have Norton virus protection AND just never open
attachments that are unsolicited or from someone you do not know.
