Virus, maybe?

Post by Ken Lang »

A couple of days go I got an email from Tom Morris. The text was "For the record."

Now the name is not familiar to me. I considered he might be a forum member but wasn't sure. After a few thoughts of opening it, I decided the better choice was to delete it which I did.

I think it was the right decision. Anyone know Tom Morris?

Just because you recognise the name doesn't mean it's safe. Many current viri steal user names from other lists.

I wouldn't open an attachment from anyone I know unless they told me to expect it.

I'm sure glad that I've got good virus protection on my computer because at the rate it is detecting viruses, I'm afraid it would be "toast" by now without it! Image
