Just delete it and go on and don't open them.

I've probably gotten at least 1000 virus emails from the server my site is on. Just know that I would never send you an attachment unless we had previously talked and you were expecting it. There is nothing I can do about it.

I have gotten virus email from just about everyone in the in the MCM community, lol. They basically come from anyone that has your email addy and in my case, my site has almost 5000 MCM community member's email addy's on it - including mine. Just keep your definitions up to date and ignore the crap.

Virus makers are getting better at wreaking havoc these days but don't go for it. If you haven't noticed, there is an "Internet War" going on between the adware, spyware & virus makers and us - the good people. Make sure you keep your guard up with AV protection, Spybot Search & Destroy & Lavasoft's Ad-Aware and keep them updated.

aloha, MC
