Thank you Paul, Like you did recently, I am receiving lots of e-mails in my Spam box on a daily basis. I now delete all messages unless I know the name of person sending e-mail. I wouldn't care, but I rarely go on any other site. Makes you wonder where they all come from. Margaret

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This email was not actually sent from GenesConnected. The GenesConnected contact email system and help support system is actually incapable of sending attachments and therefore incapable of spreading viruses. It is the result of a virus that sends out the email and spoofs the email address of the sender, in this case it fills it with one of our email addresses. This makes it very difficult to find the source of the virus.

Just thought you would like to see this, so that if you receive a message from GC or Friends reunited with attachment, it isn't theirs. Paul
