Hello Ian and All, You are quite correct, I would not send any message with a Virus or Virus attachment. My computer is very well protected with Anti Virus Protection, and Fire Wall and I do not open Attachments. The Christmas Card attachments that were sent to me, were examined for Virus before I have opened them. Many thanks to those who sent them. It is the same Virus that has done the rounds before, I have been getting a Virus message sent to me, with one of our subscribers email address. When you go into Properties, there are various false email addresses given, as to where the message has been sent from. All Listowners are aware of this problem, there is really nothing we can do about it, just keep saying, Update your AntiVirus Protection weekly. McAfee update is on a Wednesday and Norton is either a Wednesday or a Thursday. Make it a habit of doing a weekly BACKUP, this could save you a lot of work if your computer crashes, and you lose all of your files. Remember DO NOT OPEN ANY ATTACHMENTS, unless you have been asked first if it is OK to send an attachment. Take care of yourself and your computer.

This morning I received an e-mail supposedly from yourself titled ACCESSKEY containing a virus I-Worm/Klez.H I know that you wouldn't send anything like that on purpose. I believe that this is one on the viruses that use peoples address book to send infected messages to other people, you must have been in the infected computers address book. I thought that I should inform you so that that you could alert others on the list.
