Hello Silver people,
I've copied this special email I sent to my private list this morning,
because I realised that it is a quick lesson in Internet survival tactics
for 99% of people blissfully wandering around out in the Cyberbog.
Please feel free to pass it on to others. In fact, please DO.
In the 473 emails trapped so far this morning there are 18
viruses/trojans and some are very clever:
1. addressed to my "private" email
2. addressing me by name
3. very clever new variations. Too many to go into here and changing daily....
4. Liable to come from your best friend/mother/bank! Ebay, PayPal VISA
card, Amex..... etc.
The "Bank" ones are very visually good - must be catching thousands of
people.

Hi there,
This is a group email notice to my special list friends.
Someone of you has been hit by a virus or more likely, a trojan.
My special jjrXXXXXXXXXXXX email was compromised in the last 24 hours.
It was one of you.
I am being deluged with spam and trojans 300 today so far just on that
"secret" address.
If you aren't running Spybot http://safer-networking.org/en/index.html
AND AVG anti-virus http://www.grisoft.com
AND Adaware www.lavasoft.com
AND ZoneAlarm www.zonealarm.com
All free by the way!
You are having unprotected intercourse with thousands of strangers
...............
AND if you are still using dangerous things like:
Microsoft products vis: Internet Explorer, Outlook, Outlook Express
INSTEAD OF:
Eudora Pro ( email)
Mozilla Browser
You ARE going to get caught. There is no way to finally protect you from
infection if you use Microsoft products.
PLEASE do us all a favour and me especially - check your system now!
Go here for a simple internet-based security check
NOW: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

Note: this is going out on the about to be deleted jrigby1 address.
From here on if you aren't on the food4thought News list, or Soapbox
Forums responses will be *slow* as the new filtering takes effect.
