Apparent Virus

There seems to be a virus floating around. I also may have spread it around. I first saw it this weekend and then again this morning. It seems to be in my mail account.

Do not open mail it attachments unless you know what it is and are expecting it. The Mails come with two attachments. The first and bigger attachment seems to change names but the second is a .txt file that is 0 bites in size. Delete any such mail immediately.

Paul M. (The carryall guy) I got an email today from you with the "Virus" check your computer.

I have not seen any ill effects of the files as yet. My home computer is a Mac and most viruses are witten for PCs and have no effect on Macs. My work computer is a PC and that is what I saw 3 emails this morning. I deleted immediately and have not seen any ill effects.
