Guest guest Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Hasti Pisachi Likhe Swaha Dear Jay, Thankyou for your response.Any idea what I can do to correct this problem?

Often you'll find that it was not 's server, and then you'll know...

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Dear Kanupriya, You can't do much about those who have your hijacked email address (unless you cancel it & get a new one) BUT www.grisoft.com might be your (partly) salvation in this matter.... (also for many other members who are not aware of this). Go to their site and download the FREE version of AVG anti virus program. After installation make sure that the email protection is active. This program is automatically updated (free) and works 100%, warning and stopping every single mail/file which contained a virus. However, NEVER open any suspecious mail, especially not those with attachments (files like .exe, .scr, .gif etc. may contain viruses and really cause much damage). Good luck! /Jay Weisshttp://www.alvicomm.comhttp://www.alvicomm.com/vedic.htm - kanu priya varahamihira Thursday, September 16, 2004 4:09 PM Re: |Sri Varaha| Virus Emails Hasti Pisachi Likhe Swaha Dear Jay, Thankyou for your response.Any idea what I can do to correct this problem?

It will give you an idea of what files you need not open The netsky viruses use your email address to send the virus to others http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.netsky.d@... kanu priya [kanupriya003] Wednesday, September 15, 2004 10:52 PM varahamihira |Sri Varaha| Virus Emails Hasti Pisachi Likhe Swaha Dear Members, I've recently received some emails from the memebers of this group with attachments which I expect could be infected with viruses.This is just to warn you that incase you receive any emails with attachments from my email address or other members please be carefull.I am trying to sort this out at my end too.
