Guest guest Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 , I get those all the time. I even get them to myself from myself at a bogus email address. I've done everything I can to stop them. I have cleaned my computer every way I can think of short of reformatting. I don't think the bad ones are coming out of here but probably at one time some did. I never open those emails and immediately report them to AOL and block them with my spam blocker. Also have a firewall program, but I'm not sure at all that some things can't get in and may be living in the dark caverns of my system.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2003 Report Share Posted June 27, 2003 If you want you can send me the info on the IP address info the full header and the path and I can run some checks and at a 90% chance get the sending IP address blacklisted with ORBS and Mail Abuse. Since most of the big providers and even some of the local small town providers set their mail servers up to check at the very least the orbs list that would effectively stop the person from sending the mail then again if they spoofed the IP address the path would tell you where it really came from. If you want some info on that I would be glad to give you an intro into spam 101 Chris P.S. I used to be a BOFH in my previous life Re: VIRUS ALERT!

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2003 Report Share Posted June 27, 2003 I'm running McAfee Virus Scan Online. Is Norton better? Since I installed McAfee I have only had one virus sneak through, and it was one that got through before I started doing a daily update. I haven't had one since then. Anybody have any comments about which program is better? GG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2003 Report Share Posted June 27, 2003 Norton, McAfee are both good. They are usually very close getting new virus protection. One day Norton will be first, then McAfee.

You do have to update it regularly, certainly at least monthly. On a supposedly 56K modem, which can only manage a 33K connex (no DSL here), this takes about 12-15 minutes. A " professional " version is available, whereby you pay an annual fee of around $20, but all I can see that you get for this is email messages about new viruses as they appear, and notice that Update # 270.30.5 (say) corrects this problem. Support is no better, for your $20. Oh, you do get an email addr., to which you can post a query, but the answer may seem almost cryptic. No complaints, tho. Great program.
