Hey everybody. I was able to find this site that talked of suspcious emails.
It was found on
http://nonprofit.net/hoax/catalog/virus/viruses.htm. It was about guarding
yourself from emails you can get that have attachments from people you don't
know.
Never open anything INCLUDED, LINKED OR ATTACHED to an email from someone
you don't know. This is only really a problem for users of Microsoft mail
programs like Office, Outlook, and Exchange, but it's a good habit for
everyone. It IS possible to download a dangerous executable program through
e-mail, or through your web browser. For heaven's sake DON'T RUN A PROGRAM FROM
A SOURCE YOU DON'T HAVE VERY GOOD REASON TO TRUST! If your browser or e-mail
reader does not ask you permission before it runs a downloaded program, THROW
THAT BROWSER OR READER AWAY! It's no more useful than a door to your house that
can't keep anyone out. IS directors, get a clue and demand that macro and
Visual Basic "functionality" be removed from Microsoft mail products!
Internet "virus" hoaxes deserve several pages all its own. Here are some:
"Good Times" is a hoax..... http://www.hr.doe.gov/goodtime.html
Pen Pal, Deeyenda, Irina, and Ghost are hoaxes....
