Earth Enhancements Enhance Google Earth - Get The 2012 Add-ons

This was in my Spam folder. Yahoo are usually fairly good at sorting the wheat from the chaff. Anyone know if this is genuine?

I'm following the Betas of the new versions of GE, and it's refining nicely.
6.2.1.6329 (beta) is the latest issue, but the released version isn't far behind.

I'm not aware of any 2012 "Add-ons" so would be wary.

Be really aware of opening any URL in any email in your spam
folder Loose. These trojan diasporants are getting very clever
lately - after I recently download NoScript I got a spam email
headed with my name with a link to "NoScript Enhancements
Free". Sure enough it was linked to a advert pharmacy. Best
to forward any "possibly ok" email to an IT geek who can tell
you if its dinkum or not.

No need for an "IT geek" as slasher puts it....

One look at the subject "Earth Enhancements Enhance Google Earth" would be enough to suggest a fishy smell lurks beyond.

Thought as much, thanks. Pity one can't send them back with something nasty in them - like a bad smell.
