Just a heads up!!!

[SpinnerBait_Nut]

There is an email worm running rampant right now. If you receive an <br />email with the subject "New Graphics Site" DO NOT open the email. If <br />you do, it will email a copy of itself to everyone listed in your <br />address book, including all of your yahoo groups.<br />Once you have it, it will send all your email contacts spam with itself <br />attached, and if they open it, it will spam everyone from their mailbox <br />as well.

Do you have "1000" as the first address in your address book?<br /><br />I put that in there a couple of years ago on advice I got here. It is supposed to confuse viruses and worms that try to use your book.<br /><br />Can't say that it works, but I have had no virus/worm trouble since. Maybe it's Norton that works.
