Title: Virus Alert
Post by: dave-s on May 14, 2002, 03:11:28 pm
Could anyone who receives any mail from me please delete it. I have received mail from someone I used to talk with which seems to have deleted the dll files for my virus scanning software off and messed around with my machine. I have only ever contacted a few people here so 90% should be safe.

I appologies for any problems that may be caused by the virus if it is one.

Sorry.

these viruses are sent through people's email files. so the person who sent it to you may have gotten the virus themself, and it got a hold of their contact list. Some of the viruses that I get in my mailbox are from elited staff, but not actually from them. Somehow (my server says it is possible) the people who send it can make it appear to come from other people. I've even sent myself viruses according to my email.
