I got an apparently spam e-mail today with an attachment.  I decided to just delete it without checking out the attachment.

The new computer came with Norton AntiVirus, but my subscription to McAfee from the old one isn't up and I still get e-mail warnings from them.  I got one today and the attachment mentioned sounded like the one I got.  I checked the Trash folder, and sure enough that was it!

Later, another e-mail came, took a while to download, and then Norton suddenly popped up and indicated that it had deleted the attachment.  When I looked at the e-mail, it was the one warned about.

Normally, I hear of these things on the news or whatever, but they never seem to come to me.  So, if I was hit twice in one day, I figure this one must really be something and thought I better warn everyone.

Here is the e-mail I got from McAfee:

A new variant of W32/Sobig, W32/Sobig.f@MM is a High Risk mass-mailing worm. It arrives as an email attachment with a .pif or .scr extension. When run, it infects the host
computer, then emails itself (using its own SMTP engine)
to harvested email addresses from the victim's machine.
In addition, when it propagates, the worm "spoofs" the
"from: field", using one of the harvested email addresses.

Note: The worm copies itself onto the infected machine as:

C:- WINNTWINPPR32.EXE

Caution: An infected email can come from addresses you
recognize and may contain the following information:

Welcome back, Brocman!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!![/color][/size]


Hope your day was filled with light from all of your candles!!!  (Except this is the day to blow them out! )

where is this picture you are all talking about?

Julia, I kept wondering the same thing, until I realized that Jean Flagler is the wife of that man who told them about how she died when something fell on her at Collinwood (as almost happened to Julia subsequently).  There was a photograph of her in his house, but I didn't pay that much attention to it.

Was there a color change just a little while ago?  It was very weird, suddenly before my eyes things started looking pink, and all of the formerly white text, etc. is now pink.  It's very pretty but was quite a strange sensation to have it just change as I was looking at it!!

We get a bloodbath at the end of every storyline.  Sometimes I think this is the worst, but as the others come along, they have a lot too, so I'm not sure.

Anyway, today's montage with only "who's left" is really quite startling!!
