Robert, UGH we always have to be vigilant; don't we. Years ago I got one that looked funny but it was free a friend so I opened it. Luckily it was not a bad virus but I no longer open anything that looks weird.

Here is my question to everyone! Does Bill Gates or companies that sell anti-virus programs pay people to spam emails with viruses?
