    3. Hi Folks, If you recieve and email from an "Aleksander Devic", email address: adevic@HEMOFARM.CO.YU Please DO NOT open it, but send it directly to trash. It will probably have an attached file: pismod.rtf Definitely DO NOT open this file. I did. And wish I never did. Crashed my system and ran wild on my harddrive. Has taken a day & a-half to 'clean' my system, and still not sure it's "well". I not sure what happened or what type of 'code' was executed when I opened that file, but it was vicious. " .rtf " files are not supposed to do this, but this one did something. Ended up blocking me from retrieving email from my email account, but could send emails periodically. Anyway, be careful. I don't know if this is just an isolated attack or what. I haven't verified the address yet to see if it's real or forged, but it appears to be an account in Yugoslavia. Take care, Dave
