If you rec'd an email from me today with an attachment please do not open it. I was infected with the Badtrans and trojan virus. Although I recognized it immediately, this virus is FAST. It began sending emails to every single person in my address book. It did not help that I did not update my virus protection program recently, I had my mail program set to automatically send messages in my outbox immediately and how stupid is this.... I also had my email program saving the addresses of every single person I emailed in the past to my address book.

You can not imagine how bad I feel about this. I opened the virus from a trusted source but unfortunately she was not aware she had it. I am so sorry if I have harmed, inconvenienced or infected anyone. Please know that I would never, ever do something like this intentionally. Although all is clear on my end now, I can't help but feel awful for those who may have been affected.

Please accept my warning and apology.... and learn from my mistakes.

Crystal, I understand completely. I was infected a few months ago myself. Most of the people on this list probably remember. We live, we learn. Get your virus scan updated frequently.
