Hello
I just received an email showing it was from Joe Waters at psrtutorial. Someone has obviously hijacked is email. There was a lot of strange looking letters and symbols in the message. My computer found a virus in the attachment.
It's really something when someone does this and especially to Joe who is such a giver of good.

The email will probably be from an infected machine which has Joe's address in the Outlook address book, that's a popular way for e-mail viruses to propogate. All we can do is be careful out there!
Am I missing something here? Isn't it now a waste of time for spammers and the like when we all have (or should have) antivirus software.? Antivirus software comes now as standard with lots of ISP's and the AVG offered by Grisoft is free to Europe anyway.
cheers Eddie Johnson
