I keep getting this e mail from the same person, whom I don't know, every couple of weeks for the last 4 months or so. I've never opened the attachment for fear it may contain a virus. I have NAV 2003 with live update and e mail scanning. Hasn't picked anything up.

I'm cautious cos about a year ago, I received an e mail containing a virus. Something to do with "seven dwarfs" from a person called "ha ha ha". Norton 2002 picked up the virus in that attachment. Last week a received the "seven dwarfs" e mail again from the same person, but Norton 2003 didn't pick it up. I deleted it cos I remembered the last "seven dwarfs" e mail had a virus. I'm wondering if NAV isn't picking up the viruses from my e mails since the upgrade to NAV 2003 from NAV 2002, which is why I keep deleting the Blue mountain one.

It reads,

"Hi I sent you an e card from Blue mountain.com

To view your eCard, open the attachment

Thanks for using BlueMountain.com."

Any ideas?

Cheers,

George.

There was a hoax involving Blue Mountain

http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/bluemtn.html

IIRC...

If you view a card sent to by Blue Mountain, it used to install an ActiveX control which then spammed your address book. When you said 'Yes' to install the control, you also agreed the terms and conditions from BM to let them spam your friends.

I would think it's harmless but I'd keep deleting anything from it just in case.

Right! That's enough to convince me that it's just another nuisance. I'll take all your advice and just block them off.

Thanks a lot fellas.

Cheers,
