Hi Linda...and it adds a _ at the beginning of the return address, so it Can't go back to the sender...any email coming to you with a _ in the beginning of the return address is Badtrans...Unless of course it was there in the address previously...and the people it comes from are unaware that it is mass mailing itself to all in your inbox. I heard that if you put all of your inbox mail in another folder, it cannot do it's "thing"...ciao, Riccarda -----Original Message----- From: Linda Ray Harper [mailto:lindamray@shaw.ca] Sent: Monday, December 03, 2001 10:33 PM To: CAN-BRITISH-COLUMBIA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [CAN-BC] recieved virus from stringer@rc.bidcon.net I received the Badtrans virus from Marianne Stringer in reponse to my query on this mailing list , the virus came privately ,not through the list. I tried to email back to Ms. Stringer privately but the mail was returned . My computer was not infected, Norton Antivirus (which I keep updated ) caught it .I just wanted to tell her she has the virus in case she hasn't discovered it yet . The virus sends out to people in your mailbox and you can be totally unaware you have the virus.
