Anybody had any odd emails lately?

anyone had emails saying “your document” or “yours” in it as pif files?

I’ve been getting loads lately with no name, no text, no nothing but a little attachment to click on. Needless to say the only thing I click is delete.

Had a couple a while ago.The most recent was last Monday.This one differed from the others in that the email said ‘This is the attachment you requested’.Needless to say it was never opened….

You can consider a document with extension .exe, .bat, .scr, .com, or .pif (Windows 3.1 legacy) that was sent to you as a mail attachment as a virus ! Delete such mails, and DO NOT EVEN TRY to open the attachment.

Nope – but I don’t open anything that I don’t recognise…And certainly never open any attachments!
