[pchelpers] Re: more on the 'microsoft' email

I found that AVG is like that.
It won't tell you that there is a virus in your e-mail
until you try to open it.
But if you copy it to your hard-drive, then it pops up and warns you.

  Subject: [pchelpers] more on the 'microsoft' email


  Tonight when I once again got one of those bogus emails from Microsoft, I 
saved it to the desktop.  Only THEN do I get a notice that it is a virus.  
You'd think I would get notified when it was still in my email program. I 
figured by saving it to the desktop, it would show me what it was and it did.  
  Anyway, I found out what it is called... 
  I-worm Dumaru.  (Don't worry, it's gone now.)

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
