Beware of "Spoofed" Email

There are viruses on the internet today that work through the current email system.  They "spoof" (pretend to be someone else) an email address to gain your trust and acceptance to do something you ordinarily wouldn't do.  The latest round of email attempts to get you to click on attachment - it may be a .zip or a .pif - either way, if clicked on it starts computer code that executes on your PC and can damage your machine or other machines. The following "spoofed" email has come to our attention:
