Re: Fwd: pric 31-Jan-2007
Hi: Many viruses gather all the addresses from an email program and randomly take choose an address to "spoof" as the sender, and take another as the recipient. The message is most likely from someone with both Sandy and Katherine's email address saved by their email program. Its likely from a subscriber to this list. The message does not appear to have gone through the list though - its not in my email. Everyone please check their antivirus programs - it must have updated virus information the be useful. Using antivirus program that does not have current virus information is like having no antivirus program at all. Free ones are AVG http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1 and Clamwin http://www.clamwin.com/ please limit the smug mac virus comments :) Gord On Wednesday 31 January 2007 8:54 am, Sandy King wrote: > I received the message below.
