Thanks Peter, I thought it was, but you can't be too careful. Nobody has yet advised me which spam filter to use to try to stop this. I will follow the advice and contact the police and my ISP. thanks to all.

Is there any connection with the messages posted recently about sa to go? It sounded genuine, but you never know. Cheers Ron ----- Original Message ----- From: Jackie Cairns To: Access UK Mailing List Sent: Saturday, February 02, 2008 10:24 AM Subject: [access-uk] Threat Hi All I am not into spreading panic or alarm on the basis of hearsay, but my tutor has just sent me an Email, in which he gave me the following information that I have extracted from his message. Since Ron has raised the issue of a serious problem he is having, perhaps it is pertinent to mention this also. Jackie, I read an article in Web User magazine the other day, saying that blind and visually disabled people are being targeted with a malicious email that offers them a free screen reader. When you download it, it renders your PC operating system virtually unusable, infecting it with viruses and trojans. I thought I'd mention it in case you wanted to pass it on to some of your contacts. I don't know if this relates to some mention of interference with JAWS that someone recently posted to the list, but perhaps it is worth noting ... just in case.
