1. Save it to your computer or desktop first instead of opening it. 2. "RIGHT" click on the file or folder (right click doesn't open things, left does). 3. Click "Scan with Norton Virus. If it says no viruses found then you can open it (assuming your virus definitions are up to date).
I do this with all attachments from people I do know now, since they could be infected and not know it. The ones I don't know I don't even bother and just delete them right away.

Subject: the same text with your...This may have been A VIRUS!!
Today, I received the following message with an attachment:
From: smethers Subject: the same text with your
Files. To provide a link to another page, select text, and click Hyperlink on the Insert menu.Type some text. AUTOTEXT bullet Error! AutoText entry not defined. Add a list item. AUTOTEXT bullet Error! AutoText entry not defined. Add a list item.Type some text. AUTOTEXT line Error! AutoText entry not defined.Related Page 1 | Related Page 2 | Related Page 3.
I did NOT open the letter or the attachment; because I do not have anyone with the name of smethers in my files.
So I suspect that this may have been a virus.
I DID NOT OPEN IT!! I DELETED IT!!
