that has a subject,

"Hello,Spice girls' vocal concert"

It was detected to have a virus by Norton anti-virus detector.

This is the third I have received in three days with small pictures attached.

One said "meeting notice", and had a picture of a PT Cruiser.

This last one with a POA return address is disturbing being from a site we all love and trust.

Anyone else gtting these small pictures with viruses attached?

Be aware and don't open any unknown files or pictures!

I can assure you that the virus did not originate from the POA server. What you received was most likely the KLEZ virus that uses e-mail addresses from an infected persons address book and then makes it appear that the virus came from that source.

The KLEZ virus is very prevalent lately and everyone should be using an anti-virus program to protect themselves and the rest of our POA community from infection.
