Yup, it showed up in my mailbox last night.  Recognized it for what it was
and just deleted.  Odd thing is now my system won't reboot with my
anti-virus installed.  Gets part way through the load and then just freezes.
I have to start in 'safe mode' to uninstall, then all is okay.  No, I didn't
open the .exe file of snow white.  Also checked the header info for any clue
as to where it came from with same result as Barney.
