I got it, and guess who I got it from?

[email protected] (redacted)

This is the company that runs WebFlyerNet for Randy. She must have had my email address in her Outlook program.

Well, I fell for it. Looked just like a text attachment so I downloaded it and opened it. After the text part was displayed I knew something was going on as my hard disk was working hard. Then my computer crashed.

I brought it back up with no problem and haven't noticed any problems since. I went to McAffe and downloaded the latest .dat virus detection files and ran a scan, but it didn't find anything.

Don't really know what to do next.
