                            Virus Alerts!

                              There are many viruses out there and many that aren't real.  Don't let your guard down! NEVER open an attachment unless you know what's in it.  Many people make the mistake of opening an attachment that they are not expecting, even though the attachment may look as if it is from a legitimate source.  Our suggestion is to do a follow-up call or email the source to validate the content.  Or you may simply save the attachment to your desktop and scan it with your virus scan software prior to opening it.  Below  are some links to security sites for the latest virus alerts, threats, hoax's and solutions.
