I don't know where it came from.
I got it as part of the list.
Then I sent westydriver a note warning that there might be a virus.
I saw a couple of list post asking what the Hey? is this thing.
I'm not sure what it is / was / will be.
I ran McAfee and the latest klez removal but my Windows 2000 says I'm
clean.
My e-mail is scanned in both directions and I use Juno that so far hasn't
been attacked like the MS mail programs.
I receive only text and I don't get picture attachments unless I select
them.
I have a feeling that westydrivers address just got scammed from some
ones address book and he's the victim here.
