Just received an email, from " " (The address doesn't exist), entitled "Your details". The attached file is 98kb, is a PIF file and contains a worm virus.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, OPEN THE ATTACHMENT!!!
Just thought I'd share this info, as I suspect other members of this group will receive it too.

Ya'll may want to take a look at a little *free* programme called Mailwasher.
Instead of launching your usual mail programme, you open Mailwasher and it connects to your ISP server allowing you to view mail headers (an the full text if you wish) *before* you pull them down onto your system. You can then decide to pull them down or delete them straight from the server.... and you can also 'bounce' them back with an error message saying 'Account Unknown' - dead useful for spams!
And it often spots a virus too!
its well known it looks at your email contacts then viruses them too! the sick bastards that do this should be killed by a rampant bull elephant.
they cant get me though ive too much security.....
seuirityyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy its a wooonderrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrfull thing.....
Well, I'm with AOL....so I just don't get them.... !
Evening All,
I downloaded Mailwasher recently as a trial .Recommend it to get rid of spam, had a major problem with this junk, before it clogs your to do a good job so far.
Would love to get my hands on the people who send it just drives you nuts trying to get rid of it all.
