Re: Re: VIRUS in some group member's mails -14.3.2006

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

Unless and until you open the attachment which is sent

to you and the virus scanner like Norton installed in

your computer detects it, you won't be able to know.

However, a couple of members mail had come WITH

ATTACHMENTS with strange file names and I presume you

may not have attempted to open these attachments since

your computer has not detected the virus.

Also you can see below in the person called vignesh's

mail, blanks squares which never opened for anyone [

please see 's mail].

You could also notice that but for these blank

squares, there was nothing sensible in the mail of the

said person.

So, probably you can infer from this.

HOWEVER what I feel is that it could be possible that

the bull worker groupid from where you send us the

mails itself could have been infected and these mails

could have been automated ones which pick email

addresses in random from the group address book and

multiplies itself by sending this to others.

This is a very common behaviour of these viruses as

I'm of the firm belief that none of our members will

be unscrupulous enough to attach viruses in mails.

Also excepting these I don't remember having had

attachments in any of the bullworker mails.

However, these mails had come with attractive title

messages like " Black and white phots attached " etc and

members could have opened it out of curiosity since we

never seem to get to see pictures in the goupe ! :-))

I have found this virus typically with blank boxes in

the body of the mail in some of the other yahoo groups

of which I'm a member.

Thanks again and cheers,

Dev
