Hi folks,
TAKE CARE WITH MESSAGES WITH ATTACHMENTS!!!
I'm very sorry to say my email address has been picked up by some email worm
which is going around these days. It's hit me quite hard in that I'm receiving
about 5-20 junk emails each day and my email address has been listed in some
online spammer lists. Now I'm starting to receive these email worm messages
from my friends, which is how I come to realise that perhaps my email address
is being used by this email worm.
The dangerous messages all carry the virus in an attachment, so you can look at
the email safely as long as you don't open the attachment. The email worm's
message text is usually something very short, like "Please look at the attached
file." etc. DON'T LOOK AT THE ATTACHMENTS! The dangerous attachments are
generally of the types .EXE, .PIF, .SCR, .ZIP, .WAV etc
For the record, I almost never send messages with attachments - I always send
pure text messages, and if I really have to send a message with an attachment I
will include a longish explanation in the plain message text.
To anyone who's already opened such a file from me, I'm very sorry. But please
know that it's the email worm which has picked up my email address (and now
yours) which is the source of the problem.
Unfortunately I don't know how to block these emails, and if anyone does know,
could you please tell me?
Love to all
