...funny you should mention that Mike, there is a new virus going around, posing as a Merry Christmas, e-mail Christmas card.
As with any e-mail, only open mail from sources that you trust AND that have a legitimate subject in the subject box. Most viri are spread from unprotected e-address books from corrupted, unprotected computers, such as Martin's. The e-mail looks like it is coming from someone you know, but often the subject starts with RE: (which is normal if you have recently corresponded with that person) or some other such tip off. Be wary......= (
As mentioned, you need both a anti-virus AND a spyware program.
