Just a quick message to all forum members

Today I have been receiving this message -

'You have been sent a Picture'

The message gives you an e mail hyperlink with part of your e mail address.

Don't click on it as it is a 'trojan'

Fortunately I have good pc security through Norton symantic which has blocked and dealt with everyone (8 so far)

John,

So, if you didn't have good security, you would have clicked on the link?

Hi Mike

Sorry...... I perhaps didn't explain myself as well as I should.

I am not advocating that my security is that good it was just that if I hadn't got the warning I may well have clicked on the link.

What worried me more than anything is that I had got so many e mails with the same type of message that prompted me to start thr thread.

I lost a lot of information several years ago due to just such a link.

John,

I didn't mean to sound facetious. Your point is well made.
