This does serve as a good reminder of a couple of key points:
1. The risk of being virus infected by reading E-Mail is nil.
2. DON"T download files if you don't know who they came from.
3. Make sure your download software doesn't automatically run things in case
something is downloaded by accident.
4. If you do download by accident, and don't know the source of the file.
Don't execute or open it.
Some AOL users were also treated to a free greeting card from a
supposed greeting card company. File extension was .SHS. It was a trojan
horse.
