Ok, one more message before I leave again......

WARNING!

I had a yahoo email supposedly from "support@yahoo.com" with an attachment. The message started out, "Hello user of .......Your email account has been temporarily disabled due......Pay attention to attached file....." Of course, the file was a doc.pif which raised my antenna cause it is not well known extension. Happily, Yahoo mail scans attachements before downloading or opening. It told me it was....Virus W32Beagle.J@mm.

So, be extra careful when receiving emails. It looks legit at the beginning but the body and attachment are what are suspicious. Take extra care.
