It's a scam - don't open the attachment or you will get a virus. The

spammer is harvesting email domains (eg: @kslaw.com) from the group and

falsifying the source address of the virus-infect messages. There is nothing

that can be done about this.

More on the e-mail harvester spoofing the group user emails to propogate a

virus...

You may get bounced messages (that you never sent) due to the virus writer

programming the spoofed addresses as return addresses. I got a 'bounced'

email and that identified the virus payload that is being carried:

Note the very long file name:

" msg.txt----------------------------------------------.scr "

I used dashes to replace the blank spaces in the file name. The virus

writer's idea here is to trick the recipient into believing they are opening

a plain text file when in fact it is a program (.scr=screensaver) that

carries a malicious payload (worm_netsky.p)

Here is the warning data:

------------------ Virus Warning Message (on IMS-02)

Found virus WORM_NETSKY.P in file

msg.txt

..scr

The uncleanable file

" msg.txt

..scr " is moved to /etc/iscan/virus/virhgxb9D.

This spam is getting to be a major problem to most people on the net.

I have my provider account set to filter spam

My Mac at home further filters any spam which got through

And every day I end up with 50 or so real messages out of 300 spam

Yesterday I got a message from my own email address warning me I had done

something unforgivable...

Sometimes I think I should get a new email account and start again.

Hmm, perhaps I got this because I have introduced myself?

Well, I am Robyn, and was diagnosed with Graves disease about a month

and a half ago. I am finding the information here so useful. I was

wondering, what should i do now. I am on a medication called

neo-mercazole. Its Carbimizole, 30 mg/day. I am going to see the

endocrinologist again on Friday. SHould I ask about Bone Density Scans?

Should I ask about other options like acupuncture? I can tell my heart

rate has gone down and I am not losing weight any more, but I would like

to not have to take tablets forever, and also avoid an operation, or RAI

treatment.

THanks for all your help.

Robyn in Australia.

Be careful with this kind of email. They are trying to get your personal

information, passwords. You don't want to respond to this kind of emails.

My question is how are these spammers getting onto our list and why isn't

someone weeding them out before they get to us?

Sandy

[Guest guest]

So far as I can tell they are getting to almost all lists.

As long as they are hitting lists and NOT my personal

address I feel better.

I assume that anyone can join this list, that it is not

monitored which each individual member approved. That makes

it a bit easier for spammers.

I see. I didn't know that this list wasn't monitored. That explains that

new pictures posted to the list message that appears from time to time.

Dear Elaine,

Yes, he is. I hope he's OK, and would love to hear from him via this group.

no, its not all that complicated. Those that post regularly are not

moderated. You set the settings to moderate automatically when they first

join. Once they post you can usually figure out if they are thyroid patients

or spammers, its pretty obvious really. So you really are only moderating

their first post and then you lift the moderation.

I run two lists at and its not a big deal at all. And it does cut down

on alot of spam, porn etc. And spammers will see that the list is moderated

and not join in the first place. Spammers are notorious for targeting non

moderated lists.

Believe me, it has helped my lists alot. Both lists have well over 300

people on them.

Thanking you advance...

Dear Margery,

It's true I'm one of the original subscribers, but, like you, I just joined

the group--I had nothing to do with setting it up. I have no idea how to

unsubscribe--I'm really sorry. The only thought I have is to go to

iThyroid.com

(our sister site), and see if is still running that site and actively

participating. Maybe you can contact him there, and ask him to take you off

this list. Others on this list may know more about the technical end of

things to help you unsubscribe.

Good luck,

AntJoan

[Guest guest]

I would be willing to help out too, and I know how to use and set up the

group preferences, etc. Heck my group was around when it was still

onelist !! I'm getting old I guess <grin>

If you can't get in the contact with the original owner of the list, then we

can just make another list, same name but add the number 2 after the

hyperthyroidism2 and have all the list members move over there.There are not

that many on this list, or at least active ones, but its pretty simply to

move the members list to another group. Just some idea's I'm throwing out

there. I'm willing to help out if need be.

I run two business's but I always check mail because I get orders in thru

email....so I am on the computer at least 2x daily on busy days, more on

slow days or when I'm home.

I have joined, left, rejoined many of the mailing lists

devoted to thyroid, including this one. The

unsubscription process works. One must send an email FROM

THE ADDRESS RECEIVING THE LIST MAIL, not from any OTHER

address, to

hyperthyroidism-unsubscribe

and THEN ONE MUST REPLY TO THE MAIL RECEIVED FROM TO

CONFIRM THE REQUEST TO CONFIRM.

It works.

The alternative is to sign in to and go to the mailing

list's website and unsubscribe and make the changes there.

The mail method is easier.

BUT YOU CANNOT MAIL FROM AN ADDRESS THAT IS NOT IN

SUBSCRIPTION BECAUSE SUBSCRIPTION COMPUTERS ARE TOO DUMB TO

HANDLE THAT.

there is a link right at the bottom of this email that will help you to

unsub from the list.

You will need to log in to , and go to your group settings and

unsub yourself from this list. But you will still need your login name and

password.
