I received a second message within a couple of days that I suspect is a virus. Here is a copy of the one I received today:

Subj: End of invisible stuff
Date: 7/31/2002 4:24:20 PM Eastern Daylight Time
From: harbourlights@harbourlights.com (harbourlights)
To: biri97@aol.com

File: End.zip (55701 bytes)
DL Time (46666 bps): < 1 minute

Someone in the CF has this virus and it's being passed around without that person's knowledge. It uses addresses common to the Collector Forums. Be very careful and don't open anything suspicious without first checking with the sender in a separate email to confirm its authenticity.

Be careful out there!

Bob

Oh brother, just when I've finally got back 100%!

Well, I've got the big guns out just in case. Mr. Norton is aiming at these buggers and he's got a mighty loose trigger finger!

I've received a few of those too Bob. Been getting tons of others lately also. Thank God for Norton, has caught every one so far.

Bob,

Thanks for the warning. Several months ago had a horrific time cleaning out a virus and don't want to go through that battle again. frown
