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.
