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. Thanks

Hi Josh:
Here is something I do sometimes with messages like this:
In your inbox, press alt plus enter on the message to bring up the
properties. Control tab once to the details page and then tab once to put
the focus in the details list. Press the end key to go to the end of the
list and then arrow up until you hear the "from" line. This should give
you the actual email address and domain of the sender. If the address is
the same as your professor, you don't want to block the message. If it's
different, though, you can block them. If the domain is different from
your professor's--that is, the url of the email message, such as
gmail.com, or hotmail.com, etc--then it would be safe to block the domain.
If you are using Windows Vista and Windows Mail, blocking a sender is very
easy. Press escape to return the focus to your inbox, then press the
applications key and arrow up to "Junkmail" submenu. You will find a few
options there, two of which say something like, "add sender's domain to
blocked sender's list," and "add sender to blocked sender's list." Just
press enter on whichever one you want.
With XP and Outlook Express, go to the Message menu and arrow up to "block
sender" and press Enter there.
Hope this helps,
Deanne

I completed the full scan with both MSE and SAS. SAS found two items that
appear to be cookies "scan.mediascout.com" and another one called
"secure.imrworldwide.org" I believe the second was .org possibly though
it could have been .com. If it is pertinent then i can retrieve it
because I saved the two that it found. MSE did not find anything. I
figured that would be the results with MSE because it is running all the
time anyways. Can that email be placed on the block list and still allow
my professor's emails to come through as they should? As far as I know
with the bogus email's address being hidden I have no way of comparing
the two addresses. If there is a way to unhide it then please let me
know. Thanks

Do a complete virus scan, Josh. Check the headers in your email client
to see if the addresses between the legit & bogus 1 differ.

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.
