I, too, have been inundated this past week with some tainted emails from the same "senders" others have mentioned. I have to say, thank goodness, that my good, old Norton Anti-Virus Mechanism has worked over time and caught all but one of the viruses. The virus that slipped through caused my internet settings to re-set themselves but, with some assistance from cox@home, I was able to re-set them and carry on. Therefore, I highly recommend the Norton program. Deane F.
