Virus I.D.



Folks - it is my observed conclusion that virtually all virus attachments
contain the extension " .vbs".  (I think this is an abbreviation for
"visual basic", the programming code of choice for many virus mongers.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.)  Now, I know that the general advice
"don't open attachments from folks unkown" should be enough to keep us all
virus-free, but some of you out there just can't resist, can you?
Therefore, even if you are intensely curious about this mystery document
that has appeared in your electronic in-box, and yes, even if you think you
DO know the sender, please resist temptation to open ANY .vbs attachments -
you can be sure that you will make things very unpleasant for yourself!!

Thank you and have a nice day....  :)

ttfn - Jill (who typed this with one hand after discovering last week that
roller rink floors are (ouch) just as hard as they look!)
