Thank you for the warning. Because that is what happened to me several weeks ago. I was lucky because my son is an IT tech and fixed my computer. These viruses are very vicious and you can lose everything if you download them. One sat in my files for weeks and then out of curiousity I saved it and it was a virus. It took several weeks for it to completely wipe out my files and also my registry. It looks just like an embroidery design. The catch is that it won't open, you have to save the attachment for it to get you. I don't remember the name of the file but is was a hus file when it hit me. I think that whoever is doing this is determined to wipe out everyone that downloads embroidery designs. This isn't a joke, it is very real and can cause you to lose all of your files. Also, this virus came through several different sites. It wasn't limited to one certain site. I have received it more than once and have tried to warn everyone. Some don't take me seriously but once you get hit you will. If you get anything that won't open up when you click on it, DON'T SAVE IT. IT IS A VIRUS.
