Good advice for almost all emails ...
never open an attachment unless you absolutely know it is ok,
particularly .zip, .exe, .docx, .xlsx, or any of the types that can
contain macros.
If it is an extension that likely does not contain executable code, like
.jpg or such,
I'll usually save it to my hard drive first, before opening ..
then the anti-virus software will be sure to take a look at it.

Hi All,
I just responded to David's e-mail, but I thought, I would have a
separate message with the warning in the Subject, since there are many
people here who have accounts on Photo.net
I'll repeat here:
I received two e-mails from photo.net this night/morning - a few hours
apart. Both were identical, mentioning my name, as it was used in
photo.net account. The message informed about policy change, and said
that I was subscribed and paid for the premium account.
1. I don't have a premium account, and I didn't pay anything, so, the
information is bogus.
2. Indeed, the email came from an address (and via server) in Finland,
and
that confirmed my concerns.
3. Both messages have an attachment.
Do NOT open it. It is masqueraded as a ZIP-ed document, but it is a
JavaScript, - most likely a virus.
