I recently received an interesting e-mail with and "attachment." The
content of the message suggested to me the sender had some ideas about
my research interests, including flax oil, which I have discussed
nowhere but this list.
I was interested by the message, read it several times, and finally
deduced that it was another clever spam with some kind of virus in the
attachment. Bottom line: the message below is right on track, and
my nagging suspicion about the e-mail I received is that someone who
uses or monitors this list -- maybe just as a silent observer --- is
tailoring infected messages designed to deceive. I hate to say that
-- it could be mere coincidence -- but my observations correspond with
those below.

Hello Silver people,
I've copied this special email I sent to my private list this morning,
because I realised that it is a quick lesson in Internet survival
tactics for 99% of people blissfully wandering around out in the
Cyberbog.
Please feel free to pass it on to others. In fact, please DO.
In the 473 emails trapped so far this morning there are 18
viruses/trojans and some are very clever:
1. addressed to my "private" email
2. addressing me by name
3. very clever new variations. Too many to go into here and changing
daily....
4. Liable to come from your best friend/mother/bank! Ebay, PayPal
VISA card, Amex..... etc.
The "Bank" ones are very visually good - must be catching thousands
of people.

Hi there,
This is a group email notice to my special list friends.
Someone of you has been hit by a virus or more likely, a trojan.
My special jjrXXXXXXXXXXXX email was compromised in the last 24
hours.
It was one of you.
I am being deluged with spam and trojans 300 today so far just on
that "secret" address.
If you aren't running Spybot
http://safer-networking.org/en/index.html
AND AVG anti-virus http://www.grisoft.com
AND Adaware www.lavasoft.com
AND ZoneAlarm www.zonealarm.com
All free by the way!
You are having unprotected intercourse with thousands of strangers
...............
AND if you are still using dangerous things like:
Microsoft products vis: Internet Explorer, Outlook, Outlook Express
INSTEAD OF:
Eudora Pro ( email)
Mozilla Browser
You ARE going to get caught. There is no way to finally protect you
from infection if you use Microsoft products.
PLEASE do us all a favour and me especially - check your system now!
Go here for a simple internet-based security check NOW:
