From "region and union planters"
The title reads, "IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT"
As soon as you read it, it tries to infect your comp. Just thought I would let everyone know, just incase you get one.
Oh and I tried to copy and past the body of the email and this is what it pasts.
"at six NBA Las Vegas where were? in 2008 "
It doesn't even say that anywhere in the email.....odd.....

Yeah, it's the most virus prone of all email clients. Ditch it ASAP. Originally Posted by kush1

check and see if your school has a web based client to access your mail
or if you usually check your mail from one computer than switch/update clients.

My brother-in-law built my computer for me this weekend and he said not to use Outlook Express or Explorer. He said they were not as secure as Mozilla Thunderbird and Mozilla Firefox. Considering he works with computers for a living I decided to take his advice. Sounds like it was a smart move.
