Potential Virus Warning

I've received 2 emails this morning purportedly from "William Varone" that look to me like they have links to something nefarious. It appears that there are a lot of names in the "to" list.

Bill, perhaps some of your security was breached.

It worried me that Bill thought I was looking for a sale on Viagra.

Something similar happened to me several weeks ago. I was able to end it by changing my AOL password

Seriously, Bill ... I'll let you know if more spam email comes through. Changing your AOL password from time to time should do the trick. FWIW, I get hundreds of such from lots of folks I know all the time. If you use a major, free email provider, presume that it will happen sooner or later (so just get rid of those embarrassing email addresses in your book ).

Good luck Bill.

Ted
