Question

In my mail this morn (o1-14-01) I received an e'mail that seemed to be like a regular (Joke a Day) that I subscribe
to but it had nothing but an e'mail address for the sender.
The author used very poor spelling & grammar.
His joke was somthing about Snowwhite & the 7 Dwarfs.
To see what the seven dwarfs were up to an EXE. file was included. Being very leery, I dumped the whole smear.
What do you think? Was this a virus? Has enybody else received this in they're mail.
???????? TIA

Hi Crow,

Yes, that was a virus, I remember reading about it before. Good job deleting that thing. Details on the virus here:

Ooh thats a nasty virus .. you're what I've often wish others [who've forced me into dealing with security] would do, when in doubt simply delete.
