Hello all, The new virus going around can only be obtained if you download something attached to an email. I have received COUNTLESS emails from addresses of people I know to be good people - but this new virus is making it seem your family and friends are sending you something (via attachment). I must get 10-20 per day. This list is for messages - not attachments - so if you are on the list AND see that an attachment is present, DO NOT DOWNLOAD. Likewise, if you have a legitimate something you want to attach as a download, please make private arrangements with the recipient and send it to them at their own address. When you do that, contact them first, tell them the type of file (jpg, doc, etc) and the name so that when they receive it they know exactly what it is. I have made it my personal policy to not download anything anymore from anyone without prior knowledge of it. Knocking on wood, it has so far kept me free of viruses. I did receive and email from someone asking me about an attachment to an email I had sent them - as it turns out, in fact, I did NOT send the email - rather, my email had been absconded and used to make it look that way. So you really can't trust any attachment unless you clarify it ahead of time. The bad guys always seem to be one step ahead of us! If you have received a virus from this list, I am truly sorry - but I cannot reiterate enough - DO NOT OPEN ANY ATTACHMENT - whether from this list or any other place you consider to be a safe haven - UNTIL you have verified its authenticity. Best wishes, Maggie Fallone @ Trimble County
