Hey everyone. I keep getting these emails from one of my friend's AOL screen names everytime they sign on but they say there not sending them. Could any 1 tell me whats goin on? heres what the email says........

hey i finally got my pics scanned..theres like 5 or 6 of them..so just download it and unzip it..and for you people who dont know how to then scroll down..tell me what you think of my pics ok?

if you dont know how to unzip then follow these steps

When you sign off, AOL will automatically unzip the file, unless you have turned this feature off in your download preferences.

If you want to do it manually then

On the My Files menu on the AOL toolbar, click Download Manager.

In the Download Manager window, click Show Files Downloaded.

Select my file and click Decompress.

If you know your friend isn't sending you pics, he/she may be the victim of an email virus or trojan. Do not open the attachments and delete the email when you receive it, or run it through an AV scan first. Re-set your AOL preferences to not automatically open/unzip attachments.

Go to www.avp.com, (http://www.avp.com,) download the trial version and run it. Tell your friend to do the same.

Here's some info on email attachment viruses/virii
