Email Virus Alert!

[Johnnie F.]

Received another attempt to get a virus into my PC. A message addressed to me:

EFTPS: Federal Tax Payment Batch Has Been Failed.

allegedly sent to me by "Herman Mcmahon [notification8816@eftps.gov]", containing no message body but a 2 KB attachment "EFTPS_ Federal Tax Payment Batch Has Been Failed. .txt".

Now who would be so stupid to open an attachment to an email message without any message body at all?

can't get a lot of virus into 2kb, probably find it was just a link.

Still doesn't tempt my curiosity! Do you want me to forward it to you?

Just install Ubuntu and never worry about nasty windows viruses it's easy now, just go here http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer install the wubi and then install ubuntu, each time you boot up choose whether you want windows or ubuntu.

Got it running in a virtual box for a long time already. But I couldn't get warm with it. Got used to Windows too much already. Tell myself always: "With the next computer I buy!" But then they got a new Windows I want to try.
