One thing to look for is an attachment with a .vbs extension. NEVER open anything with a .vbs extension. Our IS unit has issued numerous warnings about that. We've had a rash of viruses in our office the last couple of weeks and it's shut down the entire computer system of Multnomah County offices in Oregon (they got to us through the State system). We're finally back up and running, but there are still idiots who keep opening these files when they receive them, and recontaminating the system, even after they've been told not to. So, if you see anything with an attachment ending in .vbs, delete it immediately. Melanie
