PLEASE TAKE NOTE--The sender address in this e-mail is not the sender of the virus----- it will add an underscore mark to your address and send to everyone!!! This person is not at fault!!! I just wanted everyone to know what it would look like, you could get this virus from a friend and they don't even know they have it!!

A little something I found out the hard way......If an item has a double name to it in the subject line or as the file name, NEVER open it!! It is ALWAYS a virus!! Like I said, I learned about this the hard way, but had a professional tell me about it after he laughed in my face for opening it. Like we are all suppose to be experts on the computer or something...lol. If we were, we would have his job...ya think? LOL!! Anywho, Like this one's name is: Site.MP3.pif That is a double name. I can't remember the exact termenology for it, but the double period marks a virus every time. Beware of them!! :-) Too bad I didnt know this ahead of time...lol. :-) Anywho, hope this helps. :-D Take Care All!!
