Guest guest Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Hi Dave, You had me intrigued so I asked my computer whiz friend about phishing. This is what it is. It is a security feature of Office 2007. The word phishing tells me that there is the possibility that there could be a harmful link in the e-mail and will not allow me to click on any links in the e-mail or pass them on to anyone else unless I say it can, which I don't do just in case. Yahoo groups attaches diagrams and links when it comes through to the list for advertising, etc. so my computer tells me by saying phishing to watch out. My computer lets the e-mail through because it is not junk mail but it is suspicious for my own good and warns me about it. Ruth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hi Dave, You're welcome. You had aroused my curiosity too. I had seen it and wondered and had never bothered to ask because it never bothered anything and Office 2007 came with a lot of weird things. But like you said we learn something new every day.
