New Worm Poses As Security Patch

[Lynn D. Green]

Of 35 messages this AM 32 of them were spam........29 were the virus or worm in one form or another...........glad I have a cable connection and Mailwasher to bounce them, but it is still very annoying........I have over 20 of these messages every time I open my e-mail, which is several times a day.........

I wonder when (or if?) this is ever going to end.........I'm with you, Jodi.......I'm sick of this.......

What i don't understand is that not all windoze users are getting it. Why are we being singled out ? I was upset a week ago because I couldn't send/receive mail because my isp was 'working' on it as they claimed. They obviously didn't work on it hard enough. My server should have some sort of anti-virus to prevent this crap from entering.

[Chuck Snyder]

Well, Jodi, at least your ISP is blocking MY mail to you....I guess that
could be considered 'spam'....

:-(

[JodiFrye]

Chuck, ...rolling X-D ....I think I'm getting your mail.

[Chuck Snyder]

Jodi, one was returned yesterday - don't believe I've tried again since. I
can take a hint....(sniff)

[JodiFrye]

Chuck, that's ridiculous ! I got the mail where we were discussing a certain thread on the forum....the last i got from you was ..."Jodi ya done good ;-)" ...you sent something after that ?

[JodiFrye]

Oh, i just sent you mail.

[Chuck Snyder]

Jodi, I sent one yesterday; it was bounced. It wasn't anything that needed
to be re-sent...

[JodiFrye]

Chuck, well that annoys me. I'm getting all this stinking worm mail from heck knows who but I can't get yours ??

Pete Downs..I guess you didn't get any of my mail either ?? ...or are you ignoring me ? ;(

You will only get it if some one that has you on their email address is
infected with it.

That being the case at least one person that has me on this forum is
infected as I have received my first virus to my Challenge email address

Grant,

I don't suppose it's possible for you to trace who sent you something this week so that we could
thoroughly check our system? I know I did send you something, but I have since run several times
Norton AV with no success (i.e. no viruses found).

At present the email in now just a dust in the wind. I will watch for that
in future.
