virus in attachment---------------Sorry for the trouble caused

[Guest guest]

Sorry for the trouble.

 

My system had no protection against this virus. This was so fast by the time I

realised and understood whats happening, it spread and automatically sent mails

to all the those in the mailbox.

Hi Gordon,

 

I didn't actually open the attachment so my computer is fine. I have a scan

on my email that automatically notifies me if there is a virus present..but,

as we know, many people don't have that.

 

Thanks again for the advice!
