    1. [ALCOFFEE] Attachments with Virus, WARNING!!
    2. annie adler
    3. Folks. I just received a letter, through my personal address, where someone on one of my List supposedly answered an old inquiry of mine. The letter contained the words of my inquiry and a note to "see attachment." Nothing else. My program informed me that it COULD contain a virus even if I knew the person it was coming from, and warned against opening it. I sent a letter to my Lists asking about it and received 4 letters back that they were also receiving parts of other inquiries, not only with my name but others from our Lists, with the same format. Please pay attention to your mail and do not open the attachments you may receive unless you know without a doubt, that they are legitimate. Check with anyone who you receive an attachment from, and make sure before opening it, that they did send it. I know everyone knows this, but sometimes we just don't think about it and get caught off guard. Thank God for my protection program, because without it, that's exactly what I woul! d have done. It's a shame that some people don't have anything better to do with their lives than to try to cause havoc in other lives.
