JL got an email that appeared to come from me with a zip file attached. I didn't send it but it looked like I did. Go figure.

Update your virus definitions now, don't take any chances.

thanks for the heads up. I hate Viruses!
:cool: Shane

No joke! I got an e-mail from myself with an attached "body.zip" file.

Definately watch out.

And another reason to get rid of Outlook and go with a real email client :D

Like what ....

Lotus Notes? LOL

Got this from our IT help desk this morning...

A virus alert announcement has been issued by anti-virus organizations this morning regarding a virus named W32/Mydoom@MM.

This is described as a "mass-mailing/worm" virus that is variable in subject and attachment names.

If you receive any unknown or suspicious emails, please delete the message and do not open the message or attachment.

Thank you,
IT Help Desk

I thought those .zip files were viruses, especially when i got 4 e-mails with zips in them in one day. I have never even recieved a zip in my life through e-mail, lol.

Hey bob - Can you help me configure my Lotus Notes.. The Really expensive, corporate only, non standard, email client to get my Pop3 email on my home pc ??

LOL - Just kidding -

Any other suggestions...

Ok there are obviously a lot of computer guys in this thread.

Now this question from a computer "beginner"...

Why start a virus, who does it benifit , what's the whole purpose?

I mean is it just like a prank or something?:smoke:

Pretty much, just bored out of work techies trying to get revenge on the wolrd, LOL

I got one last night from "Sony Station Report"

Didn't open it, and after I got it and deleted it I ran a system scan, and updated virus defentions..
