Something new???

But this is nothing that I downloaded from any site. I just don't do that because of all the risks - just as I never open any links - even from people I know and trust. That picture I was using was in an email from a friend and I received it several years ago, and I never had any problem using it until now. If it was contaminated with anything at all, why didn't it show up before this year? That's what has me baffled!

Every piece of malware targets different parts of the Windows operating system code. It could be you didn't have the version of the operating system you currently do when you saved it from that person's email - and by the way, email attachments are just as likely to have malware embedded, that's very common.

This is why I am glad I am on a Mac, so I can receive folks emailed pet nominations with no worries!

Karen, I did do that, but it's not much help since it's rather tedious to have to delete so much code in between the text. Thanks anyway.
