I also received a email from Brenda Davis on Monday 01/07/02. Lucky that
my Norton alerted me as soon as I booted up. In the subject line it said
"application packet",(with an attachment) I also deleted it. Correct me if
I am wrong, but didn't we have a person on campus by the name of Brenda
Davis? I did delete it when I could not confirm that she was still with
the university. Just thought I would let you know that there is something
going on with this Brenda Davis. Not to get my computer infected again I
am very careful about which emails I open.
