Hi peeps, not been on for a while, work commitments, hope everyone is well and all your snow has gone.
Anyway down to things.
I am waiting for a parcel to be delivered, this morning when I checked my emails there were 2 from different delivery companies.
Being half awake I opened them, both of them contained a virus.
My anti-virus sorted them out and gave me a warning so that I could send them to the vault, and I have done a full virus scan and I am in the clear.
But this is a clear warning that these things are about
So peeps becareful when opening any emails but especially if you are expecting any kind of delivery.
My step daughter assures me that a friend of hers had to have the whole of Windows re-installed after opening one of these emails.
You have been warned!
Linda

A mate of mine who is a PC nut got a trojan on his system and it opened a portal so every time he turned his PC on it started letting in viruses, it's such a new Trojan it hasn't even been given a name, he traced it to a Russian server, in the end he had to reformate his hard drive to get shot of it as it couldn't be found by any means.0
