Just a heads up. I received an email this morning purporting to contain a voice mail from 07730881627, inviting me to open an attachment to listen to the voice mail. This is a very serious piece of malware. Delete it immediately.

Thanks for this - its a fairly recent one and deposits ransomware.
A combination of a good paid antivirus and abiding by the 2 rules of email will keep you safe.
Rule 1 If you dont recognise it, delete it completely from your system.
Rule 2 Rule 1 always applies.

if you think you may already be infected google Norton Power Tools and run one or both as required - they are free.

i would like to add that some of the free antivirus stuff do the job just as well without any frills.
