Thanks, Gary

I have both Malware Bytes and Spyware Blaster on my machines, so I'll run
those to be sure.

Thanks!

The one from Jim was SPAM, originating from Peru (IP address 
190.40.217.23) It's possible the sender used a spoofed IP but it 
really doesn't matter, it was SPAM and obviously not topband 
oriented.

To check your computer for viruses, trojans & exploits, an excellent 
choice is "malwarebytes" http://www.malwarebytes.org/ The free 
version is excellent.

Kim Komando is a well known internet guru regarding computer issues. 
She suggests malwatebytes and spyware blaster, both free. Here are 
links to her comments on both:

If you use microsoft, you might want to try microsoft essentials, a 
free download from microsoft.
