Are you getting messages *from* "the gigo.com team" about viruses?

[Jason Fesler]

Just to be clear folks:

I do not run antivirus on gigo.com . You will get NO email telling you
to open up an attached zip file.  The latest viruses are now forging the
address to make it appear that the "gigo.com team" is sending you the
message, and asking you to open an attached zip file.

The zip file is used by the virus folks to prevent your virus scanners not
see the viruses.

DO NOT OPEN THOSE!

And, in general, please, distrust any attachment that you are not
expecting.  Since viruses are forging mail addresses from address
books etc, they may forge the address from someone who knows you..
