BLU CIVIC has a VIRUS!

[4-Door Flunky]

If you've given Blu Civic (Adrian) your email address, lookout! Don't open any emails from him that have attachments.
I've received two from him in the past week, a forward about a friendship screensaver, and another claiming to be a national guard form.
Both were infected.

there are viruses out now that take names off your email list and attach the virus to an email, making you believe that its just something the person sends you.

dont open any attachments until you know for sure, that, that person has sent you something with an attachment.

[BLU CIVIC]

man....let me know first

yeah i've had that virus for some time now and don't know how to get rid of it.....i thought it only affected people in my addy book....but i guess not

[outofstep]

im a pc guru blu hit me up with which viri you have and i'll help you get rid of it.

Hey BLU, go to the symantec website..www.symantec.com they will tell you what to do.

[BLU CIVIC]

the viurs isn't on a specific computer b/c i don't have one....itz in (if possible) my hotmail account

[outofstep]

hmm i doubt the hotmail servers are infected... but you never know hah
do you have any saved emails with attachments?
do you have norton anti virus? do a scan and see if it has a viri on one of the pcs you use, and then use that link that toontowncivc gave you to remove it

Blu, Just look for free Anti Virus downloads like Nortons anti virus and stuff like that. They are life savers.

[BLU CIVIC]

the way i can tell if a virus is ataced is the file size.....42k-44k

but how do i get the virus out of my hotmail account? i have no specific computer i use...it just keeps replicating out of my hotmail account

[90EX]

Blu, you should do the virus scan on every computer you work on.

also look at the extension on the file. i (and others) were also getting mail with the subject "what do you think of my civic" or "will this part fit my 4th gen" then the body would be empty with a file attached. i noticed right away the attchment wasn't a .jpeg it was a .exe

that was going on all last summer. so now i just look at file extension before i open.

With personalized subject lines like that, I would automatically assume it's a personal attack on BLU CIVIC... Because... a hacker could have used a virus in any computer he checked his emails from to steal the cookies (web addresses, email address, and other internet things such as that are stored in files called cookies) and use those to send out emails to people, masking their email address as BLU's
All the 'hacker' has to do is input some random subject lines, and his computer will do the rest automatically for however long he wishes to do so... probably until he gets the virus in someone elses email and obtains their cookies too.
So really, BLU may not even still have a virus on his computer...
