Since 2000, I've been using Yahoo's free email facilities, as they offer integrated Norton Anti-virus and excellent SPAM protection controls to complement my use of corporate McAfee VS 8.0i.  I recieve a number of virus infected emails, phishing attacks, and spam daily. 

Today, I received a large number of repetitive phishing messages that appear to be from PayPal, requesting that I update and verify my account information, even though I don't have an account established.   It's always important to pay attention to email messages as they can appear legitimate and you can enter information that may be used for identity theft or fraud.
