Guest guest Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 Dear members, Please do not open any message which subjects following - My details Your details Thank you Wicked screensaver Approaved etc etc. Also notice the following - 1. These mails are infected with virus. 2. These mails will have an attachment. 3. In the body of the mail, it wil be written, "See the attached file for details" 4. Do not open the attachement. Then your PC will be infected. 5. These mails will size around 100 KBs. 6. Please check your system (Esp drive C:) with a virus scanner. For temporary protection, I am turning off attachement feature for some days. If the attachement is not thre, the virus is not there, since a plain text mail can not contain viruses. However, the automated trash mails will bother for some time. Please guess from the subject line. I will also moderate the list for a few days to get rid of these automated mails if needed. Regards, Tanvir What can not happen, can never happen. Which is mine, is forever mine.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 I recommend all members not to forward any attachments. I do not open such mails. You may also like to programme to auto virus updates - costs a little but very effective. Am investigating on how the virus came through on my mail since I have all current protections on my PC.
