Theres a virus going around that says like info@????.com wicked screensaver and its an attachment. The ? ?? ? means it could have anyname. I got 4 that says info@sedona.net, info@dieselinnovations.com, info@pennycycle.com, paglar@ilxresort.com. These are all fake names but if you get anything that has a attachment on it an is about 98-100KB and ends in a .PIF DONT OPEN IT.

Received it about half an hour ago, but deleted it without opening it. Thanks for the heads up anyway.

Re:VIRUS alert

I have received this at least 40 times in the last 2 days, all coming to my ncdtr email. This means some of you who have emailed me before regarding chapters, are infected.

The virus like all good little viruses : self propogates itself by sending itself to everyone in your address book. Check your virus scan program to be sure it is up to date, also update your windows software.

If you do these two things reguarily, you will not have to worry too much about these viruses. REMEMBER, DO NOT open any email attachments that you are not expecting.

That is the quickest way to get a virus on your machine.

carry on!

Re:VIRUS alert

This one has got to me in at least 4 different subjects from different email addresses. Friend of mine said they've got hit 400-450 times in the past 2 days with it on his server. All i can say is i wish people would pay attention and learn never to open attachments in email that they dont know what they are!
