I keep getting notices that I am sending infected emails... My system is NOT infected, but clearly someone who has me in their addressbook is.

Unless we are currently doing business, PLEASE delete me from your address book. C'mon guys! I am easy to find and I check the board frequently enough that you can always find me!!

I clean out my adress book frequently so IF for some reason I would get infected, "contacts" extracted from my address book will be minimal. It seems safer to ask ya'll for your address or email on an "as needed" basis, than to store a lot of info on my pc and "mail" folders - although slightly more inconvenient.

If you get am email from me - ESPECIALLY with an attachment - and we haven't been communicating... or we are NOT in the process of a trade... DON'T open it!

As a tip... I usually name scans "meant for you" with your name or after chips (like LEONIDAS or BOBH - or HardRock) which is a clue it is a real file for you.

Also, I ONLY send .jpg's and my Excel TRADELIST (which is named TRADELIST)
I NEVER send .bat, .pif, .exe or .scr files
