At least it seems to be annoying spam rather than a virus! Both stink but the latter is not dangerous to our computers------------------ ~The Earth Laughs In Flowers~ ... Emerson IP: Logged |

Since I received that email, I have had a couple e mails of notification from United Parcel Service delivery #7. It contains an attachment so I suspect it is a virus I ordered nothing! Just a heads up ------------------ ~The Earth Laughs In Flowers~ ... Emerson IP: Logged |

Haven't gotten any email spams, would just delete 'em anyway, but wanted to add.. if you guys have Mozilla as your browser, the ad-on called WOT (Web of Trust) is a great tool to use. It tells you which site is safe to click into. Also, there's a free Mcafee site checker, for anyone whose not comfortable clicking into random links, no matter which websites the link comes from. http://www.siteadvisor.com/ If you aren't sure, just check. Hackers also try to get you through FB, from the chat window, or through email. They usually say something like.. "Hey look at this photo someone tagged of you! ww@yadayada.bullsh!t. People usually trust it because it comes from their friend's profile, not knowing their friend got hacked.

The latest that came in mine was from a guy calling himself Jesus Christ. He wanted to know my connection to Melchizedek and stated that he has been following my involvement. I was like wtf? IP: Logged |
