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 ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
