Good Morning, For those who use Yahoo and/or hotmail, you may want to watch for an e-mail titled "Israel just started WW III" I received it this morning and my virus scanner picked it up as a trojan horse virus. If your virus scanner isn't up to date it may miss it.

Anyway, hope you catch it before it catches you.

Thanks for the heads-up. My virus scan caught one today as well but I just re-downloaded lime-wire, like an idiot. Not only does it open you up to so many things, it takes up so many resources, you just want to shoot your pc like it was a sick horse.

All I keep getting is spam on hotmail.

They keep advising that I should get a diploma, further my career and increase the size of my pa-pa-pa private parts. Don't they know I'm a lost cause?

Trick for less Spam .. dont register with the same Country you are actually living in .. for example I live in Germany .. my mail is registered in Spain .. that keeps the Spam really lowest level.. wave

That doesn't work either!

All they get is e-mails from the animal protection society telling them to quit the bull fighting and e-mails from the Minsitry of Internal Affairs offering an extra allowance on coffee to cut down on the afternoon siesta.

Thanks Jerry. I got a couple of emails like that last night but I immediately deleted them. I don't open that kind of stuff.
