Can someone check to see the list is not being perverted for spam? There's probably not a lot anyone can do about it. Someone, who has Joe Jarvis's name in their address book, has picked up a "by-proxy" mail worm, which then sends SPAM to all the people in that address book. It's happening to me. Someone is using my screen name and mailing SPAM all over...I keep getting "the returned mail" or "noreply" or Daemon stuff. When I first started getting them I re-scanned my PC about 20 times for virus's, worms, and spyware with several different programs only to find it clean. The returned mail SPAMs contain an attachment [with an " .mim " file attached] ,,,which I'm told contains the worm...don't open it. I also understand most of the mail-proxy worm files start with "W32" and are hard to catch with regular anti-virus programs. Jack Kovacs I did notify my usual contacts to scan their PCs to make sure they hadn't picked it up.
