[Histonet] Virus planted ? BEWARE "aa aa" staying with a link

Wed Apr 8 15:59:55 CDT 2009

Hi All,
I guess I was stupid to link on this file.  I just hope "aa aa" didn't do this as an act of malicious behavior, and now we have viruses in our computers!  I usually delete any unknown sender, and fortunately my MAC filters out most spams.  Now I will have to do a diagnostic check.  I recommend any of you who foolishly opened the link to do the same.
Regards,Akemi
