Dumpster 0 #1 January 18, 2006 So, like I'm just checking my email and shit, and I see an email from bbarnhouse@dropzone.com. I'm thinking, "Wow what does she have for me??" So I check it, and the text is all in some sort of oriental script, and includes an attachment "readme.exe". My anti-virus software indentifies it as a worm. (Yahoo is pretty good that way, I must say!") Pretty forking clever. Bastards. I know Betsy wouldn't pull some stunt like that. Easy Does It Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbarnhouse 0 #2 January 18, 2006 WHAT???? Damn bastards! If I send an email it always has something of significance in the subject line. I've received a few as of late with @dropzone.com endings. But i've also received bogus email with @skydiveaz.com as well. Do not open anything with an exe. file Sorry dumpster I didn't send it. I'd be happy to send you a PM though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But there are viruses that will send people email on your behalf without your knowledge. That's why I asked. QuoteAdditionally I have avast and it scans continuously. Well, then, that's probably not it. I only know that the only times I've gotten such emails, it's been because someone's box was taken over by something evil. I never even realized that some of those people had me in their address book. rlIf you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from.

Some can even pull your address from an email in their box by scanning the header.The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
