COLORADO SPRINGS - Thousands of dollars could be heading your way and all you have to do is pick it up at Western Union. This is the e-mail hitting inboxes all across southern Colorado.
While it is not a scam, it does contain a virus looking to infect your computer,
"If they open that it will load spyware, malware, viruses and anything the sender wants to put in the payload and it will show up on your computer," says computer expert Tom Drane.
The e-mail looks like it came from Western Union, but according to Drane it is a spoof e-mail address, made to look like it came from the money wire company.
He did some digging for us and found the sender's real e-mail. We also were able to trace it back to Singapore.
Drane says it is common for viruses to come from people outside the United State to avoid criminal prosecution. He also says these hackers do it all for fun.
Drane says if you have good anti-virus software you should be fine, but reminds everyone to be careful of what you download.

Yesterday I broke many rules!!!
My day started very early, at five o'clock I was ready to start my day. Before that I did some Yoga and I took a shower... I read a small book and I visited a friend, took my classes and after that I went to the OD; I'm thinking about Contact Lenses by I'm just not sure yet. I was so thirsty after OD and I was close to a store and I purchased a bottle of water,, and if you know me or you had read my blog before, you will know that I try to do my best to save the planet...
I was waiting for the bus and I saw this:
A garbage truck contaminating our city...
I decided to take a picture for future complains even though I know thee economy is the worse peak for the first time in a very long time...
The second rule I broke was give me phone number to a person I barely know. Well, I did it!!!
The third rule I broke was today. I posted a picture of myself, well, it was only my eye but I am not use to do so. I hope to receive feedback from you about my new picture profile/avatar..
I want to let you know that my friend Kathy is feeling much better today. I can see the light in her eyes...
Have a nice day, Ciao.
