 Hello all,
 
 I have had a questionable pop up appear on several of my computers.  A
 window pops up on the screen that appears from Windows "Messenger
 Service" it states that the message is from WEBPOPUP06 and is addressed
 to the actual computer name.  It then goes on encouraging the recipient
 to call a phone number to purchase a diploma.  Has anyone seen this? 
Do
 I need to be concerned from a security standpoint?  I have a .jpg of
the
 message, if anyone is inerested.  I did not want to send an attachment
 to the whole list.
