A few people got hit in the past by the Pretty Park Virus, and it spread by
opening the attachment. Well, Computer viruses are getting worse. Here is an
article at MSNBC.COM about BubbleBoy, it infects simply by being
previewed!!!!!!!
The article states the virus hasn't been seen in the 'wild' yet, only at
Network Solution's Website.

The rule of thumb 'Don't open attachments from people you don't know' used
to work.
Then 'Dont open attachments from ANYONE unless you can scan it' started
after Mellissa

Now what???
