Hi, guys ,

since three days we are getting funky mails from a lot of non existing
places, which are spreading from Russa over Gernany and
southern America (even senders are identifying as GOB(Government)
We have not opened any , but our ZONE ALARM (besides NORTON) stopped them
as dangerous mails , mainly screen savers.
Even governmental friends offices in Germany were sending mails, at which
obviously such worms have been clutched on.

May be you all download ZONE ALARM, which this time can help. We own an
official version.

We sent back some of those mails to the senders, but all of them
returned(without the attachment)
and one believed(Spanish Language) came from an unknown office in South
America was not deliverable but
showed up as having been connected to a Nigerian address.

Have all a nice time Bert Krone Gentas Germany
