Liz, thanks for forwarding the emil alerts. Looks like stratfor's email servers need some TLC. Since you are getting the warnings it appears that none of the nasty stuff is getting through. I signed up for the stratfor newsletter with my Yahoo acount, I'll wait to see if anything comes through. If I manage to snag a copy of the 'patch.exe' attachment I'll run it by Norton Anti-virus to see what it identifies it as.

The "patch.exe" attachment is the Dumaru virus and worm. If you ever get it in your e-mail....DO NOT OPEN IT! It comes in as an e-mail alert from Microsoft but it definitely isn't! It's a nasty bugger and not easy to get rid of.
My guess is it showed up at Stratfor and the anti-virus program they have sent out alerts to everyone on their mailing list. That's how it appeared to me anyway. No attachments were sent along with the e-mails that I could see.
Sure filled up my inbox, though. LOL!
