COBirders, The recent spam message with the subject: "[cobirds] I think you'll like it!3" that looked like it was sent from Van Truan was spam sent by someone else using Van Truan's email address. Somewhere, Van's address was probably picked up by a virus that copies address books. This does not necessarily mean that Van's computer is infected. It could be any computer where his email address is stored.
Since Van is subscribed to COBirds and allowed to post, this message got through without being moderated. There is no way to prevent this type of thing from happening occasionally. As always, please take personal responsibility for your own internet safety and do not click on links that you are not sure about or that are obviously spam. It is always a good idea to have anti-virus software, update it regularly and scan your computer for viruses and other issues often. ------------------- Rachel Hopper List Manager Ft.
