JUST A HEADS UP ... EMAIL VIRUS ALERT!

I received an email earlier with the title "Excite games" with an attachment ... DO NOT OPEN IT!

Roadrunner detected in its original form, that the attachment contained a virus and was not delivered. (Roadrunner paid off its weight in gold stopping that virus) ... I deleted that email faster than a hungry tasmasian devil feeds ...

Again, just a heads up..

Thanks, Storm! I always hope that Norton 2003 will detect it, but,
I am never 100% confident of even that!

Thanks Storm...I do have Norton AntiVirus and if that came in I'm sure it'll pick it up immediately, or I sure hope! :lol:

Fortunately, Colin, the email stopped before it even got to me ... Roadrunner warned me immediately and it did not allow that email to penetrate my computer system ... so Norton wasn't even alerted ...

Like I said before, Roadrunner paid its weight in gold tonight .. (note, I had just selected it to delete it ... I had no interest in excite games anyways)...

This was the first and hopefully the last email virus I'll receive ...
