I received two copies of what appears to be a virus, it is a .doc.pif file so
they are trying to hide it as a doc file. The subject line is: universal
magnetech 2
And it was sent from kristie@navcctv.com. I replied to kristie and I have not
yet received a response. From the header info it involves Outlook express also.
Outlook and Outlook Express suck.
