[pct-l] Recieved a virus on mine.

[Ernie Castillo]

Most likely, the virus was picked up by clicking on a link that was included in an e-mail. The link (example: https://www.gohere.com ) was to a site that contained the virus. So it isn't so much the e-mail that got you; it was clicking on a link that was included in the e-mail.
