Being prudent, or even a bit paranoid these days, is a good idea. For the few people that I often communicate with via e-mail, if I am not expecting a file or URL from them I will send them a message asking if they really sent one if I get something from them in an e-mail. I also have an older computer (that I would not mind being trashed) that I could use for the download if I didn't want to wait for verification as well as a couple of android systems that probably mildly burp at any attack. Still, backups of critical data (off site if possible) and a good frequently updated virus protection system is a good idea. I've never had any problems on my computers, but have spent considerable time fixing other people systems that have been victims. 73/72 - Mike WA8BXN ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected]
