"Hello Fellow SeniorLinker's,

We at SeniorLink have just been alerted to a new virus that IS REAL and poses a real threat to unsuspecting computer users. 

We thought it best to email all of our members and advise everybody to be careful, particularly as this virus is somewhat deceiving.

Be careful if you receive an email from "" with subject: "Iexplorer 5.5", please DO NOT open it.

It contains a file name called UPDATE.VBS that will delete your files.

Thanks for your attention.

Regards - Andrew Campbell

REMEMBER: Please be sure to have your anti-virus software up to date to ensure that you are protected at all times from viruses."
