I told her I was on a slow boat to China but the emails keep coming. I just delete them but you know me . . .. I have to figure out why it's happening. Next time I get one I'll scan them for the dirty beasties. ----- Original Message ----- From: Cuffy To: computertalkshop@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, October 17, 2005 7:59 PM Subject: [CTS] Re: Email Attachment Frenzy Notify them that you have left the country and will be incommunicato for at least tens years ??? Sounds like nasties aboard but that doesn't explain very much. Can you save to disk and scan for beasties ? =============================== Elaine Gairy wrote: Something weird is happening. One of my friends will send me emails with attachments, usually photo's. When I click on the attachment to open it a box pops up that says downloading and then in matter of seconds the box just starts blinking on and off the screen. I can't get it to close and have to reboot to get rid of it. It only happens with this one person. Any ideas on this one? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
