This is a RANT.
Alpha Opportunities has seen me 4 virus infected attachments in two days(AV
software has caught each time). This has nothing to do with Microsoft -
Bill Gates did not send me the virus. Alpha opportunities needs to
disinfect their system - if they cannot do that then they need to be removed
from the list. A note - since it is coming from a yahoo account it almost
seems deliberate.
Here is a suggestion - do not allow attachments or HTML e-mails to the list.
This would clear up the problem.
RANT is now off.
