If you receive an email about a flight from American Airlines. Don't open the attachment. It's spam or a virus. It looks real. It has the flight number, date, amount paid, the whole nine yards. I called AA to make sure. I didn't want to open the attachment. The confirmed that they are getting phone calls every day about this issue. I was worried that my credit card was being used but that doesn''t seem to be the case.

I got that one. I was amazed that they referred to the last destination I ever flew to in CONUS. That was 20 years ago. I also called AA and got the same story tallcanadian did. They originator has a lot of AA history.

I am still trying to get my RATZAKRATZA 'puter to work right. :(

There is also a virus email being sent that appears to be from the BBB.
claims a customer has filed a claim against your company.

I am running Windows XT, or something like that. Firefox 9.0. It seems to have cleared up this morning but for several days I signed on to find my 'puter locked and had to cold boot it to get it working at all. I think AVG may have finally rooted it out.

I have not had the long list of glitches users of IE are experiencing.

Re: Another computer virus

Go here and download Norman Malware cleaner for free: http://www.norman.com/downloads/malware_cleaner/en ; If you had a USB stick and a second computer download to the stick with second puter, put stick in infected puter, go to stick and click, there is no install, it will run straight off of the stick. It is updated daily so if you want to use again tomorrow you have to update again. Just put in your email address and choose your country, click download.
