*** Sure is. The clue is the attachment. Its file extension is
`.vbe'. This is a Visual Basic Encoded script file. Open it and a
program runs that could do nasty things to your computer. Fortunately,
CCN mail removed the attachment for you. (-:
Never open these attachments, or ones with extensions of `.js' or
MS-WORD files ending in `.doc' or `.docx'. The former will run a
javascript program, the latter could run a WORD macro. All can do
damage.
Delete the e-mail.
