Konane, thanks too for the House Call info. I run Clean Up followed by Spybot and have at the very least McAfee running as I'm required by work. Never hurts to have reputable ones on hand if needed. J

<br />They also have a FREE virus scan and cleaning called "House Call" if you care to use them. Legit company been around a long time, I've used their virus software for years. <br />http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US

Jake, I just went to Snopes and read about it. I get these emails all the time. The virus has been around for months. Some of them are just hoaxes and scams. I don't have any idea how to tell the difference except to look at the email address of the sender. Again, thanks for the warning. I always delete these and add them to my spam list. Maybe it's a good thing nobody likes me. LOL

I'm probably less of a techie than you, Jake. Are you saying these words appear in the subject line? If so, I just won't open any emails with those words. Thanks for your warning. Do you know what OS it affects?
