| OK, I'll say this one more time. DO NOT get mad at the person you THINK sent you a virus. DO NOT accuse that person, or send them nasty e-mails. There is a 100% probability that virus came from a different user. You are a victom merely by being in that person's addy book with everybody else. Simple as that.
I've gotten at least ten notifications from my ISP of removed attachments this week alone. This latest version of the virus is sneakier than the klez, as I'm not able to determine who it actually came from. So, I just delete. Also, NEVER, EVER, open an attachment, unless you know what it is, who it is from, and especially, if you don't have anti-virus and current definitions.
Gregger, do you not have anti-virus software? And if so, are the definitions up to date? If not, you can get it on-line. I use Norton Anti- Virus, and have never been infected. I update definitions daily. Cheap insurance.

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | www.grisoft.com; download the free version of the AVG Antivirus, set it to scan email and do a full system scan every nightlate, and you are protected for an investment of $0. Sue's 'puter and my laptop are protected by that software. My office 'puter has a fancy anti-virus program called Panda Platinum. |
