Exclamation BEWARE.... MANY REAL VIRUSES OUT THERE......

Be VERY careful, there are still many REAL viruses out there.........

I had to email someone in Singapore yesterday, I received an answer back from him with an attachment, and as I had contacted this person, I downloaded it.

However before I could open it luckily, (I have McAfee Clinic and their virus Activeshield installed) I received a warning from McAfee NOT to open it as it was infected. I then did as instructed by McAfee, deleted the downloaded file and the email, then ran a full scan and all is okay luckily.

Just PLEASE be careful, this was a new virus that they picked up, definitely NO hoax, there are many real ones out there.....

I didn't actually catch the name of it? Just wanted to get rid of it.........
