That's true, but I still didn't click on that link! I appreciate the kind words though. Below is what I heard back from the folks that host the list: "That message was sent through the Yahoo webmail service. The IP address indicates that it originated from Turkey. If that user is/was not in Turkey, then it would indicate a hacker obtained the password for this account or they have some sort of a virus/malware on that machine. I would suggest to set this user to moderated and contact them about the issue." I've notified Glenda and prevented more posts to the list from her address until it gets straightened out. Given that KR folks are almost universally as cheap as I am, consider visiting http://www.malwarebytes.org/products and downloading and installing the FREE version of Malwarebytes. It works, and it's FREE. A second line of defense is the FREE version of Avira (although it will nag you to upgrade unless you disable it in the registry), available at http://www.avira.com/en/avira-free-antivirus . These two are all I use, they are FREE, and they work! Common sense is something you'll have to come up with on your own though. The word FREE is usually a dead giveaway that you're about to be screwed in some way, but not when it comes to Malwarebytes and Avira. Having said this, I hope I'm not starting an un-ending thread on antivirus and malware cures...this one clue should be enough for the clueless. If your software didn't find a problem with the aforementioned link, you probably need to find something else...
