Just had this one today twice!! It came from an unknown address to my freenet address which is the first time it's happened!! (Had account 3 months!)The message said that it HAD been scanned and found to be free of all viruses by McAffee!! Suspicious or what!? I'm sorry but I do NOT trust McAfee myself so I scanned it with AVG and there it was!! A worm!! Be warned!! DO NOT OPEN ANY!!!!! MESSAGE UNLESS YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY SURE YOU KNOW WHERE IT IS FROM AND WITHOUT SCANNING IT FIRST!!

Sorry to shout! But I just read a letter from some knobhead in a mag who bragged he had just got rid of 18!! viruses when he scanned his machine with a cover disk!! 18?! I don't think I have had more than 3 since I started about 8 years ago!! Man was quite proud too and they printed the letter to show how GOOD the software was!? EH?? What about the ****ing for not having anti-virus software on the machine anyway!!

Please don't get caught out!!

It is to be observed that 'angling' is the name given to fishing by people who can't fish.

If GOD had NOT meant us to go fishing, WHY did he give us arms then??

(If you can't help out someone in need then don't bother my old Dad always said! My grandma put it a LITTLE more, well different! It's like peeing yourself in a black pair of pants she said! It gives you a LOVELY warm feeling but no-one really notices!))

I get at least two per day which boast of being cleared by AVG, Norton or another piece of AVS. THEY ARE ALL CONS to make you believe that the attachment is safe to open. This is a copy of one that arrived today

 

'I have attached your document.

 

+++ Attachment: No Virus found

+++ Bitdefender AntiVirus - www.bitdefender.com'
