Don,

Thanks for this warning. I had received a similiar email. I will never open
up anything from an unknown source. Especially if the extension is something
like you received ".bat". If you open up such a file you just may become for
the "bats" "lost a few in the balfry" get the picture.

Again thanks for the warning, have a nice day.

Greetings from db,

I received the following email from whoever.

There were 2 attachments, one a text file about Oracle something or other
and the other was called "Notepad.bat"

I removed both attachments before sending this on to you.

So........ when you look at the Subject line, "To print the Readme", it
looks like you should run the "Notepad.bat" because we're all familiar
with notepad, right?

Except, it runs a virus called Magistrar32 or something

Again, the need to be cautious about opening attachments from someone you
don't know, and even then........ only with antivirus software rowing the
boat for you.

Everyone needs antivirus software on their computer, get it for free at

It caught this one for me with all the bells and whistles working just
fine.

This is the message in the email that I received:
