Virus Alert- email from rec.boats
....just wanted to give everyone a "heads up".
I recently received a few emails from rec.boats users concerning my FAQ questions, and also concerning "scareing" a 20hp Merc to put out 30hp. Almost immediately, my rec.boats email addy started getting thumped with virus attachments. I haven't sent the virus to McAfee yet, but it is probably one of the current email worms or bugs. I update every couple of days, use a firewall, and also use an email quarantine utility, so it didn't get through to my system. ************************************************** **************** Most of the virus email subjects repute to be a "Microsoft Security Update", or related MS Upgrade. A few subjects referred to "Undeliverable Mail". ************************************************** **************** Be careful. Don't click on *any* executable (in this case it's 104Kb) unless you know what it is. Anyone who has emailed me recently should do a thorough virus scan, with an updated protection program. It's a pretty good bet that one of you has the virus, and it put me on the sucker list. As you were... ) noah |
