WARNING! It has come to my attention that somebody is/has been sending around an email-worm (virus) to some members of this forum using my email address. Please be aware that I never send members emails, unless it's in response to an email sent to me (and most of the time I don't even have time to answers those  ).If you receive such an email, please forward them to me. I have a pretty good idea who it is and fortunately, knowingly spreading viri is still a federal offence.

Is this an easily identifiable virus? Something that Nortons will quickly pick up? Guess I should update my anti virus profiles, huh?

I haven't gotten anything yet, but I will let you know if I do. I hope you get them, Cliff.

Funny,,, I just updated my antivirus yesterday.... This kind of thing is why,,,, Always set windows explorer to show all file type and extensions. Always set outlook to the restricted security zone. Always disable everything that isn't already disabled in the restricted zone. Even then don't run attachments I'm not expecting. ------------------

Wasn't me. But I have been getting one lately from a "Bo Bailey" with "EQUIPLIST" as the subject, not to mention several other sources for awhile now. The one from Bo Bailey has a document attached that has the sircam virus.  I don't get them at home though and I know of only one individual here on the forum that had corresponded with me here at my work email only but never at my home email.  Wonder if they are related. Anyways, too bad I have Norton AntiVirus which catches the little goobers before they can effect me.

Thanks for the heads up Cliff! I am guessing the suspect has proven to the forum many times to lack class, ann now it sounds like this person is proving a lack of brains too.

I have not got any worms but, I am sick of spam from fake yahoo members. I forward them to yahoo and they say the accounts don't exist. I have been using that spam cop thing but I don't know if it is working. I don't understand how they can use someone elses address? There must be a way to trace there IP. I hope you catch and prosecute them cliff.
