I have not received that message. Lee O'Dell

I've been using computers since 1993 and have only gotten one virus. In my limited ability to think, I'd say that was a pretty good average, especially in this day and age.

My policy is simple - if an attachment comes in and it ain't familiar, I don't open it. And I rarely open attachments anyway - only if I know the person and, like others, am expecting an email with attachment. All that said it is possible, as I understand it, for a hacker to attach your email addresses and send an email with your address, with attachment, to somebody (I think this is what happened when I got a virus in my last computer). One solution to that problem is to add an email address to the beginning of your email addresses as I did - AAAA@AAAA,com. From what I was told this stops automatic scans of your addresses because the program doing the scan can't get past AAAA@AAA.com and so moves on to someone else.

That's what I was led to understand. There have been a couple of times in recent times where emails have been sent from HET members computers that weren't from them. These emails would move from computer to computer - I think AAAA worked for me because I've never had anybody complain that I sent them an infected email.

But then what do I know. Well, I do know how to turn this monster on!!!!!!!!!

If you don't recognize the sender and the subject is blank or suggestive, x it.

I too, also had an e-mail from "BABY". no subject, and I don't know anyone by that name real or not. As I do with any e-mail that has no subject, I deleted it. Same thing If I don't know the name I will NOT open an attachment.
