I hardly ever open my own mail so I think I'm safe.

It really does amaze me how some people take such delight in and investing their time creating cyberspace viruses!

Must be right coonts and they could be better served spending their time posting in the issues section on Teak Door!

You know those chain emails you get forwarded from friends or family sometimes? The 'Warning, New Virus!' type of thing?

It has occured to me that they are the best way possible to actually spread a virus.

I agree that it is more unlikely that Linux computers would get infected, however, not
impossible, here is is an interesting read on the subject:

Always the same gullible PC users falling for the same old hoaxes. What's more amazing, though, is that these folks always seem unable to use Google to do a simple query into the legitimacy of the 'warning' their brothers' second cousin's wife's niece sent them.

Then again, it's a keen way the technology world has of having people identifying themselves as the kind that shouldn't have a computer.

That had occurred to me, too. So I never open anything like that - no matter who it's from.
