Re: be careful---Happy thanksgiving

Now, there are virii out there that are in the form of text.  No .exe or
.com needed anymore for a virus.  There are i believe 3 now that are out and
about the web that all you have to do is view the text file and you computer
gets infected.  Problem is you don't know its infected and the payload of
the text virus could detonate 3 months from now.  So just because it looks
harmless nowadays doesn't mean it is.
