Re: [biofuel] Re: 2 stroke attachement virus warning
After thinking about it for a while, I am thinking that the virus is taking the addresses from the From part of the E-mail header ( Look below, at the header to the original message and you will see David Presketts e-mail address ), and sending directly to the person. By doing this, and useing the subject header the message would look like it comes from the list. I am not a programer by any means, so I could be wrong, but I think that this is what the virus is doing. (Anybody have any thoughts on this idea?)

I know Keith always protests that there is no virus on the group but it looks increasingly likely thta there is. Read what I said again Dave. The messages are fakes, they're NOT coming to you from the list, unsubscribing won't stop them. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO RECEIVE A VIRUS FROM THE BIOFUELS LIST. You might receive one from a list member, purporting to be from the list, but you will NOT receive one from the list. That said, Happy Christmas though remember for many its not happy at all. Indeed, on both counts. All best Keith Addison Journey to Forever Handmade Projects Tokyo http://journeytoforever.org/ Dana Linscott wrote: Warning!

[biofuel] Re: 2 stroke attachement virus warning
Hi! I also received a message from a list member's computer containing the virus/worm W32(.)BadtransB(@)MM !! You may have received it as well. Here's how to find out if you have it, and how to get rid of it: This worm sends itself out from your email to any email addresses stored on your computer. It then allows others on the net to access your computer and your security codes, etc.. You need to get rid of it right away before there is damage to your computer and it spreads to very many more. It does NOT need to be opened to infect your computer! Merely reading the original message will do it! Here's a good message to send along if you have it, with info for you and your recipients, on how to see if you have it, and how to remove it: -- WE RECEIVED A VIRUS: W32 Badtrans (dot) B(@)mm [ignore the parens they are there to keep this from being a valid virus name. The virus (actually a worm) not only attaches itself to outgoing mail but it installs a program in the operating system that tracks keystrokes. If infected, hackers could have access to all your passwords and more! For information: http://www.norton.com For a program to automatically remove the virus: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/[EMAIL PROTECTED] m.removal.tool.html You can download and run this program to see if you have the worm. It will fix it if there and will let you know if it is not found. DO THIS NOW Caution to Windows ME users- the fix is more complicated. If you are not running a virus scanner, you should really do so, for your own protection and for those you communicate with. Also, I would recommend getting a firewall program, too. (ZoneAlarm works well, and is a free download!) Each time this worm hit *my* computer, ZoneAlarm caught it before the virus checker did. --- I suggest that all the list members might want to check their computer! If the removal tool says you have it, please send a message to the folks in your address book, so they will know to check for this! (It's hit my computer three times in the past month, but I keep uptodate on virii!) -Joel R. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: 2 stroke attachement virus warning Warning!
