    from info@newminiscotland with the title: re question: and with a attachment I didn't ask a question not that I am aware of. I also got a email from minidesign just the other day saying something about a spam email which I deleted and didn't open as I've not sent any email. Is my mail account buggered do you reckon??

    .


    this is what the attachment comes up with
    Virus "W32.Netsky.P@mm" found.
    The file attached to this message was infected with a virus that we were unable to clean. You should not download this attachment.

    Fi, its easy for a virus to fake an email address, sometimes they look like they came from your own account.

    I once blagged a mate with an email from the BBC, it was a great wind up

    Just delete the emails and then stand in a bath of detol solution whist reciting the Lord's Prayer for three hours. That should sort it.
