It's not the "mydoom" worm that's going around. It's a rec.boats idiot
intentionally faking addresses and emailing trojan-horse viruses. Apparently,
if you say something he doesn't like, he'll try to ruin your day with a virus.

I received one that was faked with my "from" address, sent *to* my address.
...not very clever. Header information was forwarded to the appropriate
authorities.

Do not trust any email attachment that appears to come from ANYONE in this
group, including me. Update your anti-virus.

There's a turd in the pool...

...as you were. )


Can you be more specific? I mean, there are so many idiots in this
newsgroup from which to choose...Tuuk, Wally, NetSock...

=========================================

It's not necessarily from someone in the group although updating your
anti-virus is always a good idea, and so is a firewall. There are
rascals in cyberspace who scrape EMAIL addresses from postings where
ever they can find them. Your best bet is to post with something like
a Hotmail address for a few reasons: One, they do a good job of
scanning incoming mail for SPAM and viruses. Two, they have effective
filtering which you can fine tune; and three, if the EMAIL address
gets too hot with junk you can always walk away from it and start
over.

Yes, you are correct. When I went to roger's referenced site (see the
Janet Jackson's tit thread -- "her tits are disgusting.
http://www.twelvefifteen.com doesnt like them
either. check out what they said..."), I picked up a Trojan. Luckily
the virus scan caught it. I believe it happened when I clicked on a
link on roger's site.

I guess most people have decided microsoft with a virus is better than
a mac without.
