Dear Conchlers, There is really an epidemy these days, I have received five messages in a week containing that virus, two of them before the warning. Fortunately they come from persons that I have never heard before and this make them suspicious, so I never open the attach. (If you receive a message from an unknown person with a big attach and no further explanations, you better suspice...) A good updated antivirus program and a bit of common sense are the better response to this situation, as was stated here before, but please, remember that these virus (worms, really) use the address book of your e-mail program to send themselves, so if you get unadvisely infected, it converts you in a more than potential risk to all your friends. Thus, I insist in what I said once: that is, at this momment, it would be better to store your friends address in a text file and use cut and paste for heading your messages. I know it sounds primitive, but it is safer. And of course, if you are sending an attach file, state it clearly in the body of the message and explain its content: this are something that virus can't do very well... for now. Best regards, Alfonso Pina Malaga Spain
