RE: Steve: VIRUSES - Phantom Hacker/Irene Nielson

Good one you Steve. I have to second that. and anyone else can block

her from their own computers if they feel unsafe. The group is safe (as

attachments can't come through) and I think it was rude of us to talk about

Irene as if she wasn't here.

Re: Steve: VIRUSES - Phatom Hacker/Irene Nielson

If people do not use upto date anti-virus packages they will never know that

they are sending out computer viruses. Viruses such as these send

themselves automatically in the background totally unnoticed.only recipients

with upto date anti-viruses packages will know they have received one,

assuming the virus is not a new virus as yet undetectable by anti-virus

programs. And someone who doesn't know what a virus is not going to be

sending viral attachments!

We all can get hit by viruses at times and it can be very frustrating for

someone who has limited knowledge of these things and how to deal with them

I doubt very much that Irene is deliberately sending viruses.

I have NO intention of blocking Irene!
