One simple rule to follow..........if the attachment is 50.8
kb.......don't open it!! It is Bugbear virus. We are all getting
these strange emails and I for one can't explain it.

Plus.....you may set your AVG to update every 3 days, but as they only
issue new defs every 2 weeks........you are downloading the same defs
over and over in between. (except in an emergency like bugbear)

Cheers.....Heather
