Handling of Viruses



If I can reiterate, anytime you get a file that has the
letters "vbs" in its name, I would delete this file immediately.
It is every more suspicious when the attachment comes
in an e-mail that has no other text.   It is incredibly suspicious
when you get a "Hi, here's the file you wanted." from someone
you don't know.    The missive from Susan Fox was obviously
automatically sent by the virus itself and probably without her
knowledge.   Interestingly enough, my virus check did not
detect it...which means I need to upgrade.   But my internal
intuition sure went into alarm mode!
