Re: [Blind-Computing] Question About a Virus
Deanne, Thank you I was able to retrieve the email address and it is not the same. I have now added it to the block list. I knew how to get to properties using the alt enter key combo, but did not realize I could do it on a message to get this information.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Question About a Virus
Create an email folder named "virus" or just about anything you want and create a message rule so that all the phony messages go in that folder when you download your mail. You can also create a message rule so that any email messages from the specific sender will be automatically deleted. Go to tools and look for a message rules option.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Question About a Virus
I have attempted to check the email addresses. However, in the bogus one I am unable to check the email address. I have shift tabbed to the from field and even tried to reply to see if it may show the email address, but it is hidden. Thank you, and I will do the virus scan (SAS and MSE). After I received the first one I do not know if using the Malicious Remover Tool would find what I am needing or not, but after running this it came back with no problems. Again thanks for your help. - Original Message - From: "Jackie McBride" To: Sent: Wednesday, November 24, 2010 2:14 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Question About a Virus Do a complete virus scan, Josh.

[Blind-Computing] Question About a Virus
Friends, I have a professor that has been infected by a virus, he is aware of this, but this is what is happening: I receive emails containing the lesson plans for the next day that contains his full name. These lesson plans come from his school email address. I recently have started receiving emails with only his first name and last name "Tim Haskins" rather than the actual email that comes "Timothy Haskins". The first time I got this email I did not pay much attention to the way the email was listed as far as the name goes. I clicked on the link and got a warning message saying this link is possibly infected so I aborted before proceeding and emailed him about this. The email list his shortened name and then only the date. Two questions arise out of this. One, if I add the shortened name to the block list in OE will it still allow the actual emails to be delivered to my inbox? If it will still allow the email with the full name to be delivered how do I go about adding this bogus email to my block list, I am sure that it is probably just a click of a button while sitting on the open email but exactly where is this selection found? Second question I have been getting these emails on a regular basis have I already been infected? If so will MSE take care of this particular virus? I will continue to search Google for the answers, but any help offered on this matter will be greatly appreciated.
