Re: Virus Alert

Did it have an attachment or did you just open the email and get the virus?

Re: Virus Alert

DO NOT:
open anything in your email from UPS, USPS, or any other shipping company UNLESS you have an account with them, AND you know what to look for in the sender address. Me, I just look at who it was sent to and that is usually a great clue it's not a good thing, besides, you KNOW if you have an order inbound and you know who is shipping it so the email will come from the company, NOT the shipping company

Re: Virus Alert

As an expert in uploading hefty women porn... I can go to any site (including hacker sites)and not get a virus. If someone is getting viruses from an email they need an internet tutorial. We should probably have a thread about internet security here. Hell I have been attacked by this site more than once.
