Tony Don't sweat this. The bastards who do this are as sneaky as they get. One of their favorite tricks is to actually use the names in someones address book as the originator of infected e-mails. I have gotten many alerts from My server about bounced infected e-mails I never sent. At first I thought it was a virus in my computer but my IT guy explained that it could be coming from anywhere in the world, not only from anyone I sent an e-mail to but from any computer any of the virus e-mails was sent to, in other words my e-mail address is probably on 10 million computers in the world and can be used by any hack who can find it. It's a little scary if you think about it too long!!

IF anyone has that virus and your address in thier email address book it would use it. I have gotten one virus this year from Bart's address, and one from a non list member. Both are emails I would open without question. Fortunately I keep my mcafee up to date and it has caught both of them. Both were trojan worms. john Tony Spezio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >I am sick over this, it makes me want to just throw the whole computer out. >This computer does not have that E address in it, the computer that has >it, is trashed. >Tony > >Steve wrote: > >>Thanks Tony >>We be on the look out. >>A blast of virus went out and has every body on alert. >>Some of the IT list is really getting hit and having a lot of server >>problems. >>It is problem coming from someone with that email address in their address >>book, and unbeknownst to them the virus is sending itself out to everyone in >>their address book. >> >> >>Steve Clark >>Moreno Valley, Ca. >>http://www.deepcreekflyfishers.org/ >> >>The only difference between a good day and a bad day is our attitude. >> � >> >>><((((�>`".����`".�."��`"...�>(((�> >>> � � >>> >>."��`".><((((�>`".��."��`".�."��`"...�><((((�> >> >> >> >>-----Original Message----- >>From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On >>Behalf Of Tony Spezio >>Sent: Wednesday, July 21, 2004 12:17 PM >>To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Subject: [VFB] [EMAIL PROTECTED] virus >> >>Just a heads up. >>Some low life is using my old [EMAIL PROTECTED] address to send out >>trash and now a virus. >>Any mail from this address should not be opened and dumped.
