First, a very big thank you to all who not only commented, but also linked to old message threads, to a video on Utube, and other helpful info.
I did run the virus scan that was posted (I had no idea such tools existed, so thank you), and it came up with a clean report.
I'm not sure what tool they use, but this one said no problem.
I do see it has my correct account number on the notice, and all the pointers are to the godaddy.com site, but those might be just bait for others hidden on that page.
On the other hand, they might be just picking a couple of files and saying they 'may' be affected and yet not, since there are two places on the notification where they are advertising for their service to prevent this from happening again.
I know places are always looking for business, so that may be all it is.
Thx again, guys. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience. Dale
