    1. Re: [Cork] For Sherry Jones
    2. Hello Phyllis I just saw your mail. This looks like Ms Jones had the cork county list or maybe even your address in her mail box. I wager that Ms Jones then was sent an email with a virus attached. She opened it, and the virus robbed her address book, duplicated itself and mailed to everyone in the address book. This is a very common problem when people unwittedly open attachments. Ms. Jones didn't MEAN to send you or anyone a bad mail. The creator of the virus did it. Ms. Jones probably has a crashed system now and cannot open any of her mails, so I thought I would send a note to you. There were other mails from people in the same situation as yourself, so I can see it was probably the fact that her address book had the cork-list address. The best thing people can do is delete any mails from Ms. Jones for now, or not open anything that looks strange. The problem comes when attachments are opened. I get probably 5 or 6 viruses in a week that I just delete. I hope this helps. Regards, Susan Jeffery Tokyo, Japan Researching Ryan, Slattery of Co.
