Hi Ron

I don't know, it is the first I've heard of this one.  Probably just useful to 
be mindful of these things.

Hope sincerely that you get your threat problem sorted.  If you don't get any 
joy with the police, and your ISP refuses to take it seriously, I would go to 
the regulator of ISPs which, presumably, is Ofcom?

Good luck.

Jackie

  Jackie, thanks for this.  Is there any connection with the messages posted 
recently about sa to go?  It sounded genuine, but you never know.

  Cheers

  Ron

  Hi All

  I am not into spreading panic or alarm on the basis of hearsay, but my tutor 
has just sent me an Email, in which he gave me the following information that I 
have extracted from his message.  Since Ron has raised the issue of a serious 
problem he is having, perhaps it is pertinent to mention this also.

  Jackie, I read an article in Web User magazine the other day, saying that 
blind and visually disabled people are being targeted with a malicious email 
that offers them a free screen reader. When you download it, it renders your PC 
operating system virtually unusable, infecting it with viruses and trojans.

  I thought I'd mention it in case you wanted to pass it on to some of your 
contacts.

  I don't know if this relates to some mention of interference with JAWS that 
someone recently posted to the list, but perhaps it is worth noting ... just in 
case.
