I've gotten about 15 of these in the past 3 minutes. Should I be worried about any sort of computer virus?

    Hey can y'all see Jim Dandy in my post above or is it

    "Fortunecity broken link" ?

    Cause I'm seeing that schitt but mylatency says it's broken.

    I never realized browzer differences could cause broken linx

    for some dudes.



    Anyway, AI, I have been getting a whole assload of those

    Nigerian money-transfer e-mails in the last two weeks, they

    have been breaking past the yahoo spam censor and everything,

    showing up right on my goddamn doorstep.



    If I knew a single thing about how this world wide web thing

    works, I would offer a guess as to why? this? all the sudden?



    But since I don't, I will just tell you:



    YOU ARE NOT ALONE.[/b]

    Probably not. Either they're sending you multiple copies of your email program isn't deleting it off the mail server and it keeps downloading the same email over and over. Still, a good virus scan won't hurt.

    That depends.
