| huh? strange email I just got this email. The subject was "adverted libertarians". Salve, *** Warning! This letter contains a virus which has been successfully detected and cured. *** And other explorers in the basin of the bridget bunner cried out excitedly: letty, lctty, it's love a soldier, and honour those tatter'd and woman, he answered. Aynesworth, show lady ruth if only those unfortunate boys have not ruined with a little spruceochre. 288. Dark lead colour frugality, and punctuality his prospects, resources, agreeable without them. Jock was first, having. What on earth? Isn't that strange?

| I've had a few of this type of e-mail in my time - my advice to anyone who received an e-mail with an odd-sounding header from someone they don't know, is...DON'T OPEN THE MESSAGE BECAUSE IT CONTAINS A VIRUS! By opening the e-mail, you've let the sender know yours is a valid e-mail address and you'll be plagued by these spam messages for evermore. Block all future messages from the sender. |

| Thanks- I'll block it. There weren't any attachments or anything to open.

| The attachment got deleted. It was detected by your virus software! It says that up top.... they put crazy random stuff in these emails so that no keywords get filtered out and its guaranteed to reach you.

Ohhh. I couldn't figure out how a virus was sent without an attachment. I guess I didn't put it together that my virus software had deleted it. You can tell I don't get things like this usually. My husband actually spent almost the entire day Saturday getting rid of a virus that we had and have no idea where it came from so thank goodness the software was on the ball. For the most part my daughter and I are the only ones who use the desktop and I was on his laptop most of the weekend while he fixed the virus. I told him he was really brave to trust me with it since the virus probably came from something I did. Now I'm scared to do anything because I can't think of anything unusual I did to get the stupid virus.

| oh its sooo easy to pick up a virus. Im sure it was nothing specific you did... although you probably do want to delete emails similar to this without opening them just in case and just make sure your virus software is updated often.
