Notice to everyone! Don't open attachments!
I am posting this on all the news groups I have posted on.
Because...
There is evidently people reading these messages that is
Infected and don't realize it.
And these news groups is the only obvious place that
The viruses could be getting my email address with such
Repetition.
I have been inundated with virus laden emails to the
Tune of 3MB worth in the last fifteen minutes.
It has started this morning and is getting worse.
I have a ten meg email limit but it gets close to maxing it
Unless I clean out the in box every hour or so.
The viruses has two fronts to it.
And the infected computer evidently sends both forms
To the available emails.
One front has a snazzy logo and graphics.
It tells you that includes a security patch, and
for you to install it.
THE SECURITY PATCH IS THE VIRUS!!!!!!!!
It looks genuine Microsoft, but it isn't!!!!!!!!!!!.
The other tells you that your email wasn't deliverable.
And was sent back to you as an attachment with the return email.
DON'T LOOK AT IT, IT'S THE VIRUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The original email wasn't sent by you, it is just trying
to get you to look at the attachment.
It isn't actually a return email, it's a bogus return email.
The people I have been getting the emails from have these
Service providers.
I can't tell the real sending email addresses, because they may be faked.
But the service providers are certain.
COX.NET
Bellsouth.net
Worldnet.att.net (my own provider)
adelphia.net
comcast.net
charter.net
pacbell.net
wanadoo.nl
insightbb.com
telusplanet.net
winfirst.net
mchsi.com
ionex.net
Plus others that I can't make sense of.
So, if you are in doubt, please check your computer for the sake
Of my in box!

Re: Notice to everyone! Don't open attachments!
I have come to that conclusion also. I had 55 of them, each about 135k
or so in size. Next time, I had 37. The first few posts I had actually
had my correct e-mail address, before I realized that I forgot to
REMOVEME from it...
Make sure you use your antivirus software to check e-mail attachments
before opening.

Re: Notice to everyone! Don't open attachments!
Ditto. Unless I am expecting e-mail from someone I ignore the message.
Most of it is smut mail.
