I took almost all of yesterday to rid my computer of a number of nasty virusses that infected it, EVEN THOUGH I RUN VIRUS FILTERS ETC.ETC. I only hope I have cleaned them all out. Jim

Yeah! Add to this unsolicited, unnamed e-cards, and UPS "delivery not possible" e-mails (when you haven't posted anything!!). We got a dose of Antivirus XP 2008 from one of these, along with various other malware!

Mailwasher is a good program to have in order to have a bit of a look at anything suspicious, before it gets into your e-mail program.

Cheers,

I like the way Maiwasher shows you to where a hot link is pointing. It's then often obvious that the apparently genuine email is a fake.
