Heya, not sure what is up. I just got an undeliverable email return to me. This was an email, with an attachment that I did not send but it was made to look like it came from me. It had a virus attached to it. I have just finished checking my system and I am virus free. Also, the name of the attached file was barn.jpg and something else - not sure what it was since I had Norton kill it. However that was the file that had the virus. I do not have a barn.jpg on my computer anywhere so this definitely did not come from me. Furthermore, the person to whom the email was addressed is someone I do not know and the are not listed in my address book. My concern is that someone else may be sending these emails out under the guise that they are coming from me. Do not open any emails with attachment from shadownet!!! This may have only been a fluke but I do not want any of you to get hit. Also, I will be out of town from the 11th to the 19th and will not be sending any email during this time, so any email received alledging to be from me during this time period should be considered highly suspect. I am perhaps over reacting in my warning, however, as I stated, I would hate to have any of you fall victim to this ruse. Best regards, Rob
