Subject: It's a sneaky dern virus!!
In reply to: Bill 's message, "Virus" on 10:47:54 05/09/02 Thu

Hi Bill!! have I told you yet how excited I am to finally meet you and Teri??!!

Here's the thing with this virus. (listen to me telling the computer pro, lol) I've had quite a go-roune with this particular virus...having not gotten it myself I have helped many people that have. When it sends you an email....the person that shows up in the email as the "sender"...is NOT where it originates from! Weird, eh? What you have to do is look at the full headers...or properties of the email and find the "return path"....that is who it is REALLY from. You know when you send out a joke or something and have a list of people on it? Well....it also takes the people on that list and so on and so on and so on. So it's picking up speed like a snowball turns into a snowman, lol!

Yahoo does indeed sound like the culprit here, Bill....I am STILL fighting another virus daily from Yahoo....sigh! Good luck!.......Carol

I come home from work and check my email -- no new messages. Ten minutes later, I check it again and it tells me I have 80 new messages. NOT, this has got to be a virus flood.

Instead of clogging up the 'puter for the next 2 hours downloading viruses from forged email addresses into the mailbox, I made a message rule to delete all messages from the server and applied it. Douched 'em from the server before they could get in the box. Then, I updated my PC-cillin and did a full scan. She's 'undetected' for now.

I had something like this happen a couple of weeks ago -- forged email addresses from hotmail [several a day in Korean]. Now, its forged yahoo addresses.

And I thought I needed to 'get a life...'
