Re: Suspicious E-Mail Messages

Hi

Recently i received 2 e-mail messages, the id was possibly picked from
monster.com.

I generally do not open messages from unknow sources, but in these cases i
did open them, the messages did not have any attachments

One message said "Your cv has been shortlisted" other one had an even more
bizzare message "I have not stolen anything"

My question is, can such messages contain Viruses

If there were no attachments, it is unlikely that those spam messages - and
that's what they were: spam - carried a virus. Hopefully you have a
full-featured current version antivirus (not earlier than 2006) installed
with an active subscription and updated virus definitions.
