This only affects MS users who use Yahoo. The rest of us appear to be safe.
So if you get Yahoo e-mail from Paul, floridian, Purplydog, Root et al. Don't worry about it. Everyone else is a suspected virus carrier, and should not be trusted.
We come in peace

Don't trust me. If my name is in someone's address book and they get infected, a virus could pretend to be me. I mostly send private messages anyway, not email, and that is more secure. I usually don't send attachments without first sending someone a heads-up, telling them what to expect - not some generic 'here's your file' but rather, "Dear Joe, how's it going, hope your PF. Here's a pdf on magnesium that you may be interested in. I found it at: www.magnesiumrocks.com/therapy.html"

Thanks for the heads up.
Especially since my Norton expired and my brother STILL hasn't come over to install a new AV program they use at his work.
Peace,
