It is scary when you read some of the experiences that other people have had. Makes me think now before I open any emails.

I was not able to open it anyway but then a few mins later it went straight through my address book. I did send an alert email and put an emergency post on my blog.<br /><br />I was mortified and I alerted my friend via another method to let them know, they promptly cancelled bank cards etc. Luckily many were bounced back, had an out of office email so they would have seen my alter first but it really is frightening how fast they rampage through your address book. No damage to my laptop although my friend's laptop was wrecked. I think my internet protection helped.<br />I have not had any backlash from that experience but it sent a cold shiver down my spine at the time.<br />Good advice given here too.<br />xxIndigo Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18045423692916533428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222786315881803285.post-90783732586954425452012-01-31T02:14:06.191+11:002012-01-31T02:14:06.191+11:00Thanks for the good tips about spams!

My computer teacher said that never open email, which contains .zip files. I don't know, if it's true, but atleast I think hard before opening them.Satuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03485747899939800935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222786315881803285.post-59219982556791726712012-01-30T21:13:50.804+11:002012-01-30T21:13:50.804+11:00Thanks for letting us know..
