Guest guest Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Who the fuck opened this mess? Boy I think only a couple or three messages got through today---everything fucked up for sure. I even saw one that said it had been checked and it was virus free. Someone must have opened this damned thing or it wouldn't have gotten around so much. Ramon, how many times did you send the same message? I saw three of the same thing. Aloha, Wayne thanks for the warning or it may have gotten loose completely.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 does it do that just by reading the email,i was led to beleive it only infects if one opens the attatcment. so does this mean i am infected if so it seems its low level and does no actual damage so i may not be worried about it at moment regards paul Re: Spam Email Virus.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 this is what happened the Email was open so it read all the address in the persons Emile and sent them a Emile from the person that first opened it. Now if you open it it will do the samething to your adderss book and so on. It is a web worm.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Hi , Yes this particular WORM as it calls it can affect you with just the email, you do not have to open an attachment to be affected. However it is a minor worm as Symantec and will ONLY forward addresses. They are addressing it right now.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 The problem is your reading a Email when your done you delete it the next one opens by it's self and you get the dam worm. So from now on doing do the go back to the list of Emails you have and put a check in the box and delete it this way.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 Put your Name/virus, example " Gin2C_Virus " & email address in your AddressBook so you will know when your computer sends out email from all your address book names. I hope that got across more clear than mud. -- In , Roy <chickenbirdtree@...> wrote: > > how did you find beta mail?

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 Yes it is as clear as mud, to me. The theory is, if you put a false e-mail address in your Address Book, when a virus or Trojan sends e-mails from you address book, your ISP will bounce the false address you have in the Address Book, therefore when you get it back, you know you have been hit by the Virus or Trojan. If you use, for example, 000@... (normally first entry) and you ISP returns it saying undeliverable, then you should shutdown your Internet and run your virus scanner and Spyware programs and get rid of it. If you need more information let me know.
