GE - Virus Warning

[Storfer, James]

 all so files that end like "filenamehere.jpg.vbs" these are worms they
effect your windows registry files and can destroy files. So make sure if
you want to open a jpeg that the ".vbs" is not there.

Yours,
James

A lot of these WORM programs (not true viruses per se) have a routine
that
after they have infected your computer, then start emailing the worm to
everyone in your address book. so if  a friend gets it, you will get
emailed
with it too.

BTW just for everyone's information.. there is no such thing as a virus
that
hides in JPEG picture files, so they are safe to open, but never open an
EXE
from anyone unless you know it is 100% safe..
