dnjsplace1@mindspring.com Today I received a message from the above address and it was blocked by an anti virus program. I am sorry to mention this openly here on the board but I am only informing everyone to be alert. Many virus's are not really all that vicious, just a headache most of the time. Who ever this address belongs to, please run your virus cleaning program and repost, please. Sid in CA

why are you adding to the problem by sending this around. many of the new worms have a Trojan horse in them and don't need to be opened. all you need to do is receive them in your email program. i don't know if this is one or not, but if it is, you're only making the problem worse. there are a few new one's floating around that you screw up your computer just from the email address. so, in short, don't become part of the problem. in addition, this is not the forum for such matters. there are many sites that have anti virus programs and firewalls available for free. members can find them on their own. i don't mean to sound offensive but this reminds me of the old saying about crying fire in a crowded room. causes more harm than good. ----- Original Message ----- From: ""Sid \"Buddy\" Moore"" <smoore@ojai.net> To: <WARD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, November 30, 2001 10:24 PM Subject: Virus > dnjsplace1@mindspring.com > > Today I received a message from the above address and it was blocked by > an anti virus program.

to Sid in CA Yes, I had a badtransmm virus, worm, trojan or whatever you call it. I have no idea where it came from and no idea exactly who all it went to. I make it a practice not to open anything I don't recognize or is worded funny. I have deleted it and all associated files. Sorry for the inconvenience and if you know a way to keep this from happening again, let me know. to Last Celtic Shaman Thank you for making a difficult situation a little easier. I appreciate your comments. Joyce
