Jackie, I think it relates exactly to that.

Cheers

  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.

  Jackie
