    I`ve just received an email from postmaster@tom.email notifying me of a Delivery Report.There is an attachment which I`m wary of opening as I`ve never heard of postmaster@tom.The last email I sent was last Friday.Anybody experienced anything similar ? Any advice appreciated.

    Postmaster is a free e-mail service, but if you don't know "Tom", Rule one is delete without opening any attachment.

    For Rule two, refer to Rule one.

    Simply delete anything you are unsure of. Never open any attachments unless it is from a reliable source and a recognisable extension. E.g...a friend sends you a photo file (.jpg) or a powerpoint slide show (.pps).
    Anything strange is likely to be a virus.
