Ann those are wor-ms/vir-uses as well. You should use something like MailWasher so these can be deleted before they get to your inbox (and it will also protect you). You'll be in bad shape when one of these comes in for which vir-us def's have yet to be released. Again, depending on the malware code, the attachments do NOT have to be opened to infect one. -Clint
God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) ----- Original Message ----- From: "annparker" < I have also been receiving emails such as the ones Richard has described. In addition, during the past couple of weeks I have been geeting four to five emails per day from someone with just a first name (like Betty.....assuming I knew a Betty, I suppose). When I open them there is a short message asking me to open the attachment. I am afraid to open the attachments, so I delete them. Is there anything that I can do to prevent this? It won't help to block them as they use a different name every day.
