Hello again Sue. You have sent me an e-mail via GC and they will send you a copy of the e-mail too. This is just a confirmation, it is not being returned. I have received a further five virus infected e-mails today but have been able to get rid of them. It just means that someone who has my address in their computer is not up to date with their virus protection. The best advice is still to delete anything you are unsure of and don't forget to empty your "deleted" file as well. Roger from East Sussex

It's really annoying because when I reply to people sometimes from Genes connected the email comes back so I really don't know if it genuine or not as I would hate to have recieved one from someone then replied only for it to have come back, they would think that I havn't thanked them..

I have had several of Mail Delivery Failures last week, my antivirus reported as exploit/frame virus which according to their website is no longer in circulation, I can assure them it definately is. Rosemary

This morning I checked my emails only to find that I had at least 12 that said delivery failed, I am sure that they could be a virus, all from different people, I deleted them all except one that I accidently clicked to open it, but then it said that the attachment would not be opened by hotmail it was in red not that I would open an attachment if I did not know who it was from..........
