Yep, heads up everbody !!

I've literally just recieved another dodgy email - complete with attachment - read as follows:
From: D.Gillanders [[email protected]]

Sent: Tue - 24 July 2001 17:46

To: [email protected]

Subject: Fire Insurance

Hi! How are you?

I send you this file in order to have your advice

See you later. Thanks
Now as per Danny's advice above - if you get any unsolicited emails, especially those with attachments, do NOT open them, repeat do NOT open them !!!!

So one and all, please make sure that your virus shields are up and current. Also, invest in some firewall software, as this will help to stop you from passing on virus's such as this one.

We owe it to each other to be vigilant.

Ps. WARNING !!! Do NOT send anthying back to the eamil address for DGillanders above, as this is almost 100% certainly not the email address of the sender of the virus - who ever sent that has covered their tracks - and we do not want PPRuNe to be associated with a 'denial of service' attack, OK ?!
