Does that mean that my Internet Security Prog (McAfee) will scan any e-mails I receive? |

DO NOT send these messages to all your contacts. This is exactly what the scammers want you to do. If it is a virus, which is unlikely, then it will infect all those you send it to. |

Now you're scaring me Mr. Inspector. Which messages do you refer to? I don't think I have pointless messages, only those that go in the 'sin bin' which I delete regularly :-S |

ok you don't need to worry - the main danger is if you OPEN something that is dodgy which I don't think you would do - you sound pretty sensible to me. |

Didn't mean to panic you Wend. All my emails are scanned as they come in. Some are marked up as "dangerous" and i can't open them so they get deleted. |

So, if I get the gist of what you're saying Errol, if Mr. McAfee and 'im indoors are protecting me, I'm in no danger. I think my personal settings are correct (well, almost), but I can't be sure about my computer stuff, but hey ho, silver lining, do be doo, be doo . . . . . pours a Sussex Harvey bitter down the cyber hole for ye laddy - just taste that - it sends 'im indoors into raptures :-D |
