Re: [MOPO] Virus Alert

[JR]

Yeah, there's a virtual "snow storm" of these virus email out with different approaches and subject lines. Two of them that came in this morning:   "hey its me, my old address don't work at time. i don't know why?! in the last days ive got some mails. i' think thaz your mails but im not sure! plz read and check"   ... with an attachment for you to read. Yeah, right...   and:   "View Paris Hilton & Nicole Richie video clips , pictures & more ;) Download is free until Jan, 2006!"   ... why anyone thinks that come-on would entice most people to click on the attachment ,I don't know...   The old rules still apply:   1) NEVER open any email attachment unless you know FOR SURE what it is. If you want to send an attachment to someone, send them a regular email first, telling them what you want to do and asking permission to do it -- so they know to expect it and that it really is from you.   2) NEVER click on a link in a email that requests you to enter your User Name or Password unless you are expecting the message -- like you've just registered with a new website or forum or whatever. Otherwise -- even if the email looks genuine -- just manually go to the site without using the link in the email and do whatever it is they were asking you do to in the email.   Too bad we have to deal with all this shuck and jive, but there it is.   -- JR   ----- Original Message ----- From: Susan Heim To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Tuesday, November 22, 2005 13:12 Subject: Re: [MOPO] Virus Alert I got about 8 of them this morning. Deleted them all. I often wonder how these people that create this junk have so much time on their hands.   Sue Heim ----- Original Message ----- From: Andy Neal To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Tuesday, November 22, 2005 9:33 AM Subject: [MOPO] Virus Alert All Please be aware of a Virus being sent by email from the address <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the following attachment and message...
