ECN Forum Forums Technical Discussion Re: Computers and the Internet Virus Warning

I'm still getting them today.
It looks like it's still going strong.

A couple of Months ago when I got that one that infected all my pictures my Hard drive churned for probably 10 minutes after I opened the infected file.
I don't use Outlook so I didn't have any addresses for it to send to.

Bill

I have been shunned & flogged.....

Sparky,

You've got to take some consolation in the fact that you are by no means alone with this. I'm still getting about 10 per day or more from new people everyday.

Bill

yes, but i had to be the dope an' open one!

somehow this 'leapfrogs' address books, to the point of recieving wierd stuff from people i've never confered with
(conversley, there are those who are still wondering why a sparky in VT is billing out to WY)...
anyways, i think i've killed it, thanks to your links. this is really wierd if you stop and think about it.
there are hackers that create a virus, and people(anti-hackers?) who create the anti-virus or cure, like villians and heros in some sort of cyber-comic book.

Sparky,

I did it myself remember? Luckily though I had no addresses in the book.

What would Really be weird is if someone paid one of those bills!

Hey, maybe that's an idea?
Send out a million bills and if 1/10 of one percent pay ...... Hmmmmm.

Just kidding Folks!
Do not try this at home.

Hey Bill, you're starting to think like me!

I'm not proud when i'm hungry!

'66,

Ouch!

Sparky, now I know it wasn't you that sent the file. You needn't respond to my e-mail Q of how to open it!!

My archaeic computer, fortunately, wouldn't open the file. I tried and tried. Better tighten up the security

I'm still getting a half dozen of these per day!

Anyone else still getting them?

Bill
