Since what we're talking about is phishing and scams, the risk is subjective. If you have an above average for intelligence user base then there is no risk. If you're surrounded by click monkeys that follow every link they ever get then the risk is high. These particular "viruses" are not going to launch on opening and roll through your environment like a fire storm. I also don't think anyone is going to burn a lot of effort cross-tracking these things because there's no money in it and it's a large amount of work to submit perfect copies of each scam to a number of vendors looking for a hit and then databasing them. dp _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
