Title: FYI--For those new to the internet(OT)

I'm sure some of you have received those little emails claiming to be sending you an attachment with the lastest Microsoft Security patch or virus protection. DO NOT OPEN THEM!

I never open any attachment, actually, that's marked as a *.exe, *.pif, *scr, etc. even if its from a reliable source.
