I received an e-mail from "J. Jardine." The subject was "Price." The only message was "February price." There was an attachment, a zip file, titled "price_list."

My anti-virus software said the attachment contained a new virus it could not handle, so it put the message in quarantine. I'm letting all of you know, because it might be targeting gardeners (Jardine, so close to "jardin," French for garden). Most of us are shopping for plants on the Web now, and a February price list sounds like something we'd want to see.

In case the message slips past your anti-virus software, do not open the attached file. Delete the message right away.

Hi Zuzu. When you get a mail like this, E-mail the company of the virus program you have and in that mail "attach" the virus mail into that mail, so if you are lucky you can download an update from the company for that virus in a couple of weeks.
