Greetings All. As I see it there are two different situations here. One where an email message wants you to install a foreign language font. You can pretty well bet that these messages are SPAM, At least in my personal experience every one like this received has been SPAM. As another poster stated, if you click cancel on the box to install the new font it goes away and you can simply delete the message. Receiving a message that has a from address and subject line, and the body of the message is blank, you can pretty well bet that it is the result of someone having your e-mail address in their computer being infected by the Klez virus. The message body is blank because your anti-virus program (in my case Norton) is up to date and has deleted the text that it has determined carries a virus. You can determine this for sure by opening up the full headers of the message. Normally, after all the header information and before the body of the message will be a notation that your anti-virus program has deleted the text message. Delete this message as well and do not worry about it. Because I am a high-profile user of email and my email address is in a great many PCs I get several of these a day, sometimes more than a dozen. Attempting to contact the owner of the infected machine is normally futile because the virus forges the 'from' and 'return to' addresses. Happy Hunting. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Genie Coats" <coatsgenie@hotmail.com> To: <IRISH-NEW-YORK-CITY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, September 06, 2002 8:46 AM Subject: Re: [IRISH-NYC] Admin Note - Important So what are we supposed to do with it? ----- Original Message ----- From: Dora Smith Sent: Friday, September 06, 2002 9:32 AM To: IRISH-NEW-YORK-CITY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [IRISH-NYC] Admin Note - Important I also have been getting this notice and have been ignoring it.
