It has come to our attention that an email is in circulation that at the outset appears to be from charliefrancis.com. The sender can be identified as “noreply@charliefrancis.com”. an account that doesn’t exist and IS NOT an account which exists on our servers.
Be sure not to open any suspect email, no matter what the source.
If you are unsure about whether you have a virus or not, our friends at Trend Microsystems have a free online virus scanning utility that is great, you can find it here
There is an alternative. The Mozilla mail client is not as popular as Outlook/Outlook Express, and doesn’t have the same degree of vulnerability. It also includes a very useful Bayesian spam filter (junk mail control), and can preview mail without visiting the included url (a technique the spam-meister’s use to gather real addresses, and in some cases launch viruses). Find it at http://www.mozilla.org - it’s completely free.
