You might also see "Word file" and other subjects.

The main thing is...Don't open any of them.....we are not sending private letters to any of you...unless you are waiting for such action yourself!

If you get a private message. Delete it immediately,even if expected.

Then go to the private message at the above and check it.

I hope this is alright. I did this.

If you got email to your home account and you opened them, then you might have got an virus or spy ware.

if you don't have any protections installed I recommend that you install.

I post a page where the "best" free option is listed in hope that it can help someone.

http://www.download.com/Best-free-secur ... ml?tag=dir

I saw there was an add for registry cleaner there and visit the site to see what kind....this is what people call bad program and it can be spotted if you install a little program:

http://www.download.com/3120-20_4-0.htm ... r&tag=srch

Which show a green logo on safe sites...a read logo on sites you must be careful on and a grey logo if they haven't investigated it yet.

It don't take big power and make your surfing safer..

If in doubt. Run a virus scan on any suspicious emails before opening.
AVG Anti-virus is free and highly recommended.


cheers,
