Re: VIRUS Question

[Dan Robinson <dlrbnsn2@eclipse.net>]

This one, Magistr, Sircam and others are all over. I have a feeling
that as libraries are restarted after the summer, emails are being
opened before antivirus programs are updated. I've gotten at least 5
Snow white's, three or four Sircam's, and a couple of Magstr's
within the the past two weeks. Carl, go to any of the antivirus
program sites and you'll find all you need to know about these, and
other viruses/trojans/worms.

Snow white has several variations for the text, but it always comes
from hahaha@sexyfun.net. Not a real address of course, but it
makes filtering easy. The others are harder since they pick up
addresses from the inbox and temporary internet files and either
use the files or the subject lines from files and attachments on the
hard drive.

I"ve written to people and ISP's where I can identify them, where I
can't I delete and hope the person eventually straighten things out.
