There's another virus but don't get caught
Listen, there's yet another virus on the lose and there will be many more coming. Guess what most viruses come via email attachments. I get boatloads of them, but only got burned ONCE in 15 years and that was because of my curiosity about if I could "see" the virus but not get infected.
Anyway - when you get email entitled "you are approved" and "as requested" and on and on - if you've got 50 in your email box or even one - just delete it, UNLESS you really are expecting something from a bank or something. Does the email come from "Joe" - well you might not have any friend with "Joe" in their email address line. THINK and be cautious.
