There are several variations but all have "...my pictures... somewhere in
the message.

It is a relatively harmless virus - more than a nuisance than anything else.
But it took me 45 minutes with Macafee to delete this thing and update the
virus software.

RULE OF THEM:  IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE SENDER WITH AN ATTACHMENT, DELETE THE
MESSAGE.  No opening message - no virus.

My only regret is I can't meet the mental midgets who send out these virus'.
I'd like to give them a "virus"!!!!!!!
