  Just had a very strange email from someone called "fearless" that said on the subject line "Chinese missile shoots down US aircraft" it came with an attachment but OE would not allow me to open it, I presume it must be some spoof or spammer but has anyone else had anything similar?

  I just got the EXACT same email but I didn't try to open it. I hate spam.

  It's worse than spam. It's someone trying to take advantage of the world's latest headlines by infusing the e-mail with a virus and then sending it to millions, hoping to infest the curious one's computer system with a virus.

  I had 2 that went straight to my Spam Box. One was re US Aircraft the other re US Satellite. Just deleted them.

  NEVER... NEVER... NEVER... NEVER... NEVER... NEVER... NEVER... NEVER... NEVER... OPEN AN ATTACHMENT YOU ARE NOT EXPECTING.

  Always delete them immediately.

  If you open every attachment sent to you, your computer WILL be infected by a malicious virus.
