I am sorry to inform you that apparently I have received a virus from one of my
contacts that has invaded my email. By opening this email and clicking on the
link, it was able to pirate all of my email addresses and send this disgusting
stuff to all my contacts.


I am sorry to tell you that if you also clicked on the link, the same thing will
probably happen to you.


I was told the best thing to do is NEVER click on a link if you don't know what
it's about or if there isn't an explanation along with the link. This was a good
friend and I was just too trusting. Also I guess one of the things to look at is
the subject line. If the person's email address is in the subject line or you
just don't recognize it as something sensible, then DON'T open it.

I'm sorry for all the trouble it has caused all of you. If you can't seem to get
it to stop on your computer, I was told that a good idea is to chance your
password and that should stop it. Of course, if you have a good virus protection
you are probably fine. I don't have one.

Sorry again,

Verna Ansel
