I checked it and my computer's excellent McAfee security system warned me that this website is 'unknown' and recommended not opening anything from it.  I didn't - and I deleted the file, immediately.

I suggest you do the same to the e-mail.  It may be innocuous, but why take chances with your computer's security for no good reason?  I don't.

Never saw this message, but I have McAfee on my lap top and Norton on my desk top.

You may have to boot up your security.

I just wanted to give you a heads up that I got this email here....on our ANA discussion forum...not on my home email...  Is this person an authorized user?   "endisorc"

Hey Gary

thanks for reporting this.  Will investigate the user as well.

FYI folks, anytime you all receive something like this, especially through the ANA Forum PM, pls send the moderators a PM, with the message attached (ie: you can either "forward" or do a copy/paste) so we can investigate for you.

Thanks again!

I Googled around a little bit, and found that endisorc did this little Personal Message trick on a couple of other forums too. It is definitely a link that leads to malware, so don't touch it.

The same website has also been used for a series of messages about leprechauns, of all things. Stay away from those too.

A big raspberry for endisorc:
