If you get a e-mail telling you of this wonderful new virus product that you can get to try don't down load it I know two people that did and both have got the worse virus.
My grand son was one his mom had to take his computer to some one to get rid of it. Anna

There is another one going around too that I just got notice from my company of. It is one where you get an e-mail stating something like a friend has sent you a greeting card. There is an attachment to see the card. Don't open this as it is supposed to be a virus.

Cal, yes that one is bad....My Fiance' is a computer geek for a major college...Some kids opened it up and now all the computers in that lab are infected...If someone gets an email about a greeting card being sent to you...Only open it if it actually says where it is from in the subject, eg...Yahoo gretings, BlueMountain, etc....It is a virus that slowly eats away at every file on your computer, and you don't even know about it until it eats all of them and you can't even turn your comp on...Great heads up for people....Take caution...:D

Be careful about opening even cards where they say they came from unless it tells you the name of who sent it to you. I got one that said "a loved one" has sent you a card and it even had Hallmark as part of the e-mail making it look more legit. I think that if it is legit, it will have the sender's name in it.
