I got an email that I believe is a virus. The sender is b2737272@net327.com
and the name of the E-Mail was "The Pictures You Ordered." Now, I know I didn't order any pictures!! Just a warning...

Get warned about virus's when they happen. I signed up for virus warnings on Mcaffee's site and it's been great. Evertime one is out it send out a warning letting you know all about the virus.

You should be suspicious, of the content of any eMail.

I've received the Magistate Virus, Twice this week.

One from an unknown source [alarm bells].
2nd from my sister!

The usual advice applies here, Don't open .exe .vbs etc. and dont assume that known sources are immune to infection.

BTW: Vet picked up the 'Mag' virus, straight away.
