Beware of new types of spam.

Thanks for the heads up. I haven't received anything like this yet but I always delete things when I don't know the person.

That one's a real virus, there is also another, similar email but it's a hoax. Seems it only works on Window's machines and only the unpatched ones. Notice that it doesn't name the family member, friend etc.

I had one last week from "a schoolfriend who wanted to send me a vintage postcard". I had no friends at school so knew it was a virus.................
