Mick warned me this afternoon not to open any unexpected emails with excel attachment, apparently it's a Trojan going around.

Nothing to do with the site, but I thought I's share the info

thanks for that Kaz; warnings and reminders are always good - it's too easy to let your guard down or not pay attention at times.

I agree, we cannot be too careful. Many of us will not expect to get an Excel spreadsheet in an e-mail, but it is surprising how many people will still open one.

Thanks Kaz & Mick.

I keep getting e-mails from Adriana, asking me to talk

I am wary of any Emails from unknown sources, and delete them without reading.

There are other potentially-dangerous things about, too.

A couple of days ago, Mrs A had a error warning (I forget the number) on her tablet.
I Googled it on my laptop and the first thing that came up was a website saying that
I could download a free 'something' that would correct this fault. Delving further into
it I found that the download would take 'only' 15 minutes. I thought, "No way! Do they
think I'm daft". Going back to the Search site I then clicked on a Wikipedia link, that
explained that this Error Notice simply meant that the website concerned had closed
down or moved. Goodness knows what would have been the consequences if I had let
the first website have 15 minutes access to my computer. These rogues should not be
allowed.

Yes, it pays to be wary Aggers! xx

Aggers and all. There was a time when your browser would throw an error code, but not much else: 400 Bad file request; 404 File not found; 408 Request timeout; 500 Internal server error, and so on.

They were meaningless to most people so newer browsers give a bit more information: See this Unfortunately some of the explanations look a bit dodgy or almost as confusing as the old error codes! Best bet is to close the tab and try again, and if it does not work, give up - as Homer would say.

Thanks for the warning!
