Recent incident of Cyber Vandalism at a Sister List

[Guest guest]

I have recently received about 30 virus infected emails - all from

known addresses and every one of these was caught and deleted by

Norton anti-virus software; I update the virus-definitions very

frequently.

The problem is not email sent by a malignant individual; it is the

source virus which has infected many computers which send emails with

viruses to the addresses on the internet computer. One method to deal

with this is the anti-virus software kept uptodate for virus

definitions; it automatically detects. The other is to read the

title, subject etc before opening the email. Of course, the

attachments shd not be opened unless they pass thro antivirus

software. They say, look before you leap. We can say now: look before

you click!

Dear BhAghavatAs

 

One way to arrest the propogation of virus using information in

contact address book of Outlook Express is to create one dummy

contact like AAA with email address as blank. But this contact name

should be the first in the list. This will arrest the virus to move

to next contact address. Meantime you can clean up virus infection

within your system.
