This was sent by my Virus Alert service- and may be legitimate. You should at least be made aware of it. (IDG) -- A new virus or worm, with the same modus operandi of the Melissa Virus, is currently spreading across the Internet, deleting large numbers of files and altering the Win.ini file when users reboot. It is spread by an e-mail message saying: "Hi [your name] ! I received your email and I shall send you a reply ASAP. Till then, take a look at the attached zipped docs. --- bye." The message comes along with a zip file named Zip_files.exe, which if activated, will show a fake error message to the user while it infects your computer! BOTTOM LINE- Be safe! DON'T OPEN ANY FILES SENT BY ATTACHMENT! I have a new "religion". I wouldn't open an attached file-- even if it was from The POPE!!! jc
