Thank you for your post. It was explained to me by an IT professional that it is all right to open an unsolicited email; it is just dangerous to click on any hyperlinks that may be in the unsolicited email. Your post reinforces that recommendation.

From: Richard Conrad A malicious email is going around that tries to trick people into clicking on a web link, to supposedly retrieve a greeting card or a postcard. It results in a virus. It is worth reminding everyone to practice safe computing and not click any links in unexpected email. It's so tempting to just click the links to "check them out". Malicious links in email are quite common, especially in phishing scams. http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/postcard.asp<http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/postcard.asp> Richard Conrad <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> 4844 OSAGE AVE PHILA PA 19143-1713 215-748-5788 _______________________________________________ ucneighbors mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.asc.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/ucneighbors
