New email virus

It has come to our attention here at Anchor Network Solutions that a new email virus released today is targeting people at random through a very devious email message. We wanted to let our clients know as soon as we could about this threat. Identifying this email virus is as simple as looking at the subject line of your email.

"Here you have" may appear in the subject line. The body of the message will contain a note saying something familiar to "Hello: This is the document I told you about, you can find it here...."

Do not open the email message no matter who it is from, simply delete it.

If infected, this virus will rapidly start sending out emails to all of your contacts and make it appear as if you had sent them. The best way to avoid getting this virus is to delete any email that fits the description above. To permanently delete the email, just highlight it in your inbox, press and hold shift, and then press D.
