Subject:VIRUS ADVICE!!!
From:Chris Stann

I follow this advice and have had no viruses on my PC yet in over 5 year:
DO NOT EXECUTE ANY ATTACHMENTS FROM ANY SOURCE.  Attachments ending in EXE
are especially dangerous.  Any other attachments, such as documents or
spreadsheets can contain dangerous macros, so I always verify with the
person who sent the attachment over the phone or via another email message.

When you get an email message with a questionable attachment, do not panic,
do not execute it, do not click on the attachments.  Just DELETE THE
MESSAGE.  No harm done.

I am sure other folks can add to this to help inform and educate all of us.

Thanks, and have a wonderful day!
