Guest guest Posted August 14, 2002 Report Share Posted August 14, 2002 Kristy, Hi for starters my name is Rob Freeman, and I have been quietly monitoring all of your stories for the past couple of months, so hi again everyone. As soon as I will get the chance I will tell you about my daughter Kira, 6 who is mds 50/50. For starters the virus you have just written about is a hoax, its pure aim is to get you to pass the word there is no such virus its just like one of those pyramid schemes. I have also noticed that e-mails to follow this have been infected, I using Norton Internet security 2002 which includes Norton Antivirus and it has got and resolved all viruses that have been seen within this news group. May I suggest you do invest in something like this as at the end of the day it will cost a lot more money to fix your computer! The people you have been receiving the virus from, will be unaware that they have pasted the virus on. Its pure aim is to look into other peoples contact lists modify the original e-mail after infecting your computer and then passing it on to your friends! The only way to stop it is to have good protection. Hope this info helps all in the news group. As I have said, I will write a piece and publish this on the site with a photo in the near future. Just for reference I live in England just outside of East London. Regards Rob Urgent Virus Warning! Can someone check this out and see if it is for real?

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2002 Report Share Posted August 14, 2002 Rob, Welcome to our group! I am anxious to hear about Kira and your family. Thank you for the virus warning. Are you saying that my emails show a virus, or other people's emails show a virus?
