Virus Spam

Seems like there is some Jack Ass trying to infect computers out there with a virus. Over the last week one of my Yahoo accounts has been sent 6-8 e-mails from 6-8 supposed seperate e-mail addresses and they all have the same Virus. One of those e-mails was from an address that almost looked identical to that of a friends.

So just thought I would send out a little warning to everyone. Not that anyone here would be niave enough to actually fall for this persons lame ass attempts to infect my computer.

isnt it the now-almost-famous myDoom? its been raging around for about a week.

My GWJ account has received about 50 e-mails so far.

I''m getting a bunch of stuff at work that is virused from someone posing as [email protected] to be some sort of automasking virus (10 messages so far).

Yeah, I''ve also gotten viruses from forum posters addresses...

I use mailwasher tho, so fortunately none has gotten through.

If you suspect you have the MyDoom virus, you can download a free remover:

Everyone here with a GWJ e-mail account has ensured that we do not have nor are we spreading the virus.

I''ve gotten a lot at my gwj address, and someone spidered the address and it looks like it''s sending from me so I am getting a bunch of rejects at that address too. My gwj address is the only one I ever get spam on and now this so I''ve had to resort to spam proofing it.

<sigh>

I hate these things.. I have to spend all day explaining to everyone how the emails are all spoofed and no they didnt really send so and so the virus just because the email said they did..

Then having to explain how email works for like the millionth time..

I haven''t really gotten that many of these emails, spamassassin catches most of them. When I do get them though I don''t really care as I don''t open random vbs attachments

Quiet, you linux hippie!

Everyone here with a GWJ e-mail account has ensured that we do not have nor are we spreading the virus.

We do however spread joy and love. If you feel either of these emotions it''s probably thanks to us.
