Namaskarams!! indeed, i believe that George is correct...it appears that Kenna's computer has been infected by one of the "Beagle" worms....one of the Characteristics of that worm is the typical subject lines of the mail, of which, both of Kenna's messages fit the bill...one of the ways that the worm apparently typically tries to get you to open the mail is by referring itself to the email account which the receiver belongs to...for example for me it sent a message apparently from "staff"...my email provider....but with the same subject line as the second of "Kenna's" messages... this info can be found at the Symantec, Norton Antivirus pages.... whenever in doubt as to the authenticity of a message, the wisest thing is to NOT open it....and keep your antivirus program up to date! sometimes they can look so REAL>...SO like they are coming from a legitimate source that we can get taken in.... i was taken in this week by a message which had a trojan hiding in it...luckily the antivirus program on this computer caught it in time... so dear sisters and brothers...it is very important to be extremely careful with our email these days, as more and more worms, viruses, and trojans are being generated every day...and being sent to US every day....i'm sure that i must receive at least 3 or 4 virus laden messages every day...perhaps more...but luckily they generally wind up in my junk mail....and i DO NOT open them...(Except that mistake earlier this week..got taken in too...but luckily had a good antivirus program to stop that trojan in it's tracks.) so if we are seeing any emails on this list which do not appear to make sense in reference to the list's direction of inquiry, then i would suggest to NOT open....cause the virus hasn't figured out how to configure the subject to the email list's contents.... anyways...enough of this .... i trust and pray that Amma is blessing you, my sisters and brothers, and protecting you always... In Amma's Divine Love, and in Her Service, as ever, visvanathan Om Amrtesvaryai Namah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
