Guest guest Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Friends, Seems like my computer is picking up viruses from this group site. Anyone else have this problem or have any suggestions? So I shall probably be getting off this merry-go-round for now due to the viruses. Thanks for all your diverse views and suggestions. They say if you place enough monkeys in a room with enough typewriters for enough time, they will create all the works of Shakespeare. So this monkey-mind will relinquish his time at the typewriter for now and perhaps rejoin later when the Shakespearian works are nearly complete. Todays quote: " Never carry a grudge. They shed.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Hi Richard, Don't bother about a virus could stem from itself. It rather stems from a person which is exchanging mails with you AND a mail account. And that account could also be the Maharaj list when a person is posting to it via email. Those viruses are checking the infected pc for email addresses and then per random picking one of them and using it as the new but fake sender. The virus has its own mail server and now is sending to all the other addressees itself as a virus and using that fake sender which in your case seemed to be which in reality was the virus using a fake sender on a friend's pc. You can leave the Niz list and and delete your account but you still can get a virus seemingly sent by simply because it is sitting in a friends pc and not in itself. I myself got a lot of viruses sent via fake accounts but I don't bother - I even don't need an anti-virus program to pick them out. When an email I got has attachments with " special " suffixes like .pif .com .exe etc, I just won't open them but delete them. I hope Í could make myself clear enough Werner Nisargadatta , Richard <richarkar> wrote: > Friends, > > Seems like my computer is picking up viruses from this group site.
