Here's a response I got: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sun Jan 29, 2006 2:27 pm Subject: Website problem with artetica.org
Hi, Tamara, I visited artetica.org and can confirm that this site is virus infected. A lot of popups tried to come up and the site tried to install some sort of dubious software on my computer but both were blocked by the firewall of my system. If Suejin doesn't have a firewall installed it is obvious that he/she now has a infected system. The only advice I can give is to download or buy a good antivirus program. I don't blame the people of artetica.org for this - everybody can catch a virus and I think their page was infected by such a malicious piece of software. Best thing that they could do is to lock the website until the infection of their system has been cured. Greetings to all, Norbert >>>>>>Tamara wrote: Hello all, I had forwarded an email about a book-art project in Italy. Suejin wrote to me that she had clicked on their website (www.artetica.org) and it totally messed up her computer. I haven't heard of this happening before, but then, I don't understand computers very well. When I clicked on the website, I just got a blank page. I wrote an email to the organizers, and they set up a "mirror website" (mirror site www.altervista.org) to handle the problem of me and others not being able to view it. -- This was BEFORE Suejin had such a problem. Now I have written to them again about Suejin's disaster. Doesn anybody have any idea why this would screw up Suejin's PC? I don't think the people at artetica are evilly making viruses; they strike me as just regular mail artists organizing a show and website, but then I dunno. Please let us know if you have had problems with them. - Tamara From: Send an Instant Message "Suejin Jo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Fwd: mailart BOOK-ART Project To: "Tamara Wyndham" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Yes, it is so bad that I cannot get on even yahoo.com. I am the black sheep in this family now that I ruined the new computer which was running like a dream for a while. I guess my husband has to call dell and see if he can fix it. Right now I had to turn on the old computer which I did not get rid of yet. Isn't it too bad something so innocent do this to you? I wonder if I should warn the others.
