if you get an email that looks like this:
Test =)
(random characters)
--
Test, yep.
and has an ".exe" attachment, don't open it - discard the message - it's an email virus.
apparently one of my webmail emails has been sending out some of these messages, so if you get one from me, i didn't send it to you - just hit delete.
here's more info on it:
