Re: VIRUS ALERT - thanks- newbie issues

They can already hide viruses in .gif and .jpeg's.  These kids these days are to smart and devious.  They have web sites devoted to hacking and also have sites on where to get mail bombs and hacking software.  Watch out and make
sure you have a good virus protection.  I deleted the happy.exe file as soon as I received it and saw it was an executable.  Dont ever execute anything that comes from someone you dont know.  My 2 cents worth.
