I found an email today from "jpwaters@gmail.com
RE: RE: Hello" I thought the name sounded familiar so I went to open it. Because I use hotmail it was automatically scanned and was said to contain the worm virus for which there is no cure. it contained an attachment called website.zip.

I seriously doubt that this came out of Joe's computer, but instead came from another infected compter that also has Joe's email address. The best rule is just use a good virus scanner and don't open any attachments without first scanning them.

I didn't mean to imply that it came from his computer or that he is in any way involved in this. I get these all the time they put in different names to make you think it's someone you know. From Mom and Dad cousin Larry. Mostly I don't look at them, this one I looked at because I thought the name sounded familiar at 6:30 this morning.
