Hello, This is off-topic but just a warning about e-mails from unknown sources with attachments and, generallly, just a text like "Hi! How are you? I send you this file in order to have your advice. See you later. Thanks" The attachment is a .doc.pif and the .pif only shows up in the source if you scroll it totally to the right. In one of twenty cases the virus, the "SarCam"-virus attempts to delete all your files on the sixteenth of october. I even received two spanish versions of this thing. I am possibly to late to warn anybody as this was five days ago but still, maybe this does ring a bell for somebody who opened it and saw nothing happening, in which case you probably better look on the web for a way to get rid of the thing. Five days before that on another computer someone I know got something similar, but this time it were .exe files and just random or no text. No idea yet what that one was, probably older viruses. Maybe it has something to do with delayed updates of virusscanners because people are on holidays? No hoax, this. Caveat emailopener I would say in my best pig-latin. See you guys, and ladies! Eelco
