Reply to "VIRUS ALERT!!!!"

Yup, I'd gotten half a zillion of these...wrote to Hotmail, who'd sent back a form letter having nothing to do with the problem. These people even used "Hotmail Safe Attachment" in many of them.

Tell-tale sign is the file size...about 50K...nothing that anyone would need to zip ;-)

They seem to be filtering them out now, but new tricks are always around the corner. AND - as it's been said, a virus checker can only work on known virii, or deviations of the same.

Just don't open any attachment or file from ANYONE, unless you know and have contacted the sender prior to opening it.

Shoot...even then be suspect, the person may have a virus they're unaware of.
