It’s likely that the computer of one of our list members is virus infected. Since yesterday afternoon, I’ve
received over a hundred e-mails containing the virus.
Modern viruses often “spoof” the sender’s name and lie about who has
sent it. This makes it hard to
track down the source. However, in
this case, I’ve found Coupe list e-mail addresses on a couple of the viruses. That at least makes it likely that the infected
computer belongs to one of our members.
Would all of you please check out your systems? I hate to be an advertisement for the
antivirus companies but you really should have an antivirus program if you
participate in e-mail, especially e-mail lists. Personally, I like Norton Antivirus since it works very well
and automatically updates itself so well.
Besides you having an antivirus program, the program won’t be effective
without UP-TO-DATE antivirus signatures. (That’s why I like Norton’s life
update so well but the other good programs should auto-update, too.)
Would all of you with antivirus programs please update your signatures
and run a full virus scan on your system?
Would those of you without any antivirus software (running naked) please
get some?
Thanks, all.
