[Bioundgrd] New virus making the rounds

Got the below email from Hans, our computer consultant, just now. 
I've already seen this fake PDF file a couple of times today, so be 
aware!! The virus senders and crackers get ever more devious...

And, as always (and as Hans says), NEVER NEVER open attachments from 
someone you don't know; even if an attachment APPEARS to be from a 
friend or colleague but you're not expecting anything from that 
person, check with the sender before opening. The "from" field may be 
forged by the virus.

Regards,
Gurukarm
