Default Re: [Dixonary] OT: Gmail Failure?

I have a virus scanner and a malware scanner. I don't think it's
phishing, but I don't know enough about phishing to tell. Now that you
mention it, I now wonder whether it is indeed some kind of attack and
will run my virus and malware scanners. However, I think those just deal
with bad things on my computer and not Internet stuff.

I may also update my Email software (Thunderbird).
