There is another nasty email virus going around. I've had many dozens come at me today, but all have been deleted before reaching my computer.
UNDER NO CONDITION open up any attachments on any emails you receive unless you are absolutely certain what it is and who sent it. This one looks like some kind of OFFICIAL email instead of the normal friendly one.
Again, like others, this virus hides behind real email addresses. So it may look like it came from your friend, brother or mother - but really isn't.
SO DON'T GET MAD AT THE PERSON WHO IT LOOKS LIKE SENT IT - BECAUSE THEY PROBABLY DIDN'T. It pulls addresses from infected computers and if your brother's address is on someone else's infected computer it may send one to you that looks like it came from him.
UPDATE YOUR ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE. Most companies like Symantec have put out updates today. If you don't have anti-virus software - you're playing a form of computerized Russian Roulette.
