Computer Virus Alert

Don't open up any e-mail from the FBI, or CIA
They contain a (aparently very nasty) virus.

Watch for any returned mail messages, dirty bastards are using every trick in the book to get you to open those damn attachments. Would personally love to shove a computer up their hind ends, one byte at a time. I have rec'd 30+ of these today and 50+ in last 24 hrs. A new worm is on the loose, and all I can say is thank you Norton. Best to delete ANY messages if you have no idea or are suspicous. What a shame to have to live like this.

The bad thing is, a lot of people have NO virus protection, NO firewall, NO spyware software, or, it is badly out of date or expired. It's these machines that feed these no account SOB's messages. I work on machines as a favor or for a small fee from time to time, biggest problem I see is people having 2-3 viruses, 500-800+ spywares, and way too much crap on their machines. Everything that is, except a good virus program.....

Re: Computer Virus Alert

I've gotten three today from "postmaster" and it tells me to please open the attached file to view my new username and password. Along with some BS link in the message. DELETE! Peace-

Yes, (bogus)returned messages and postmaster messages make up a lot of this new wave of crap...

If you think of it, have her post some pics on here! We would appreciate it! LOL!

By the way, the worm's name is W32.Sober.X@mm

The name of the ass-wipe sending them is unknown, but generally regarded as a lame F+++ who ever it is.

Re: Computer Virus Alert

I was looking on the FBI's web site, and it looks like they're looking for him.

They seem to hate it when people try using their name.

Good thing too.
