Re: Wicked screensaver

They are viruses.

Update your virus scanners and make sure they are working.

Delete them.

If they get in your system, they will propogate to everyone in your e-mail. Not just in your address book, but everyone who you have e-mails to and from in your e-mail.

Our virus scan went nuts today blocking every e-mail that came in, we had to go in and sift thru them.

Add

Thank you

or

Re: Thank you

to the list of e-mail subjects.

Are these only emails with attachments?

As far as I can tell, all of them had attachments.

Thanks, You should have that in the criteria as well then, right?

Hog and I's emails were bombed with every one of those today. They were just in our hotmail accounts.

Russ and I were bombed with everyone of those today. And all of the emails came with attachments.

So beware!!

cwilhelmi,

Sorry, it hadn't occured to me to include that there were attachments, in the info.

I just figured that folks would be on the lookout for the e-mails and viruses, if they new that they were out there and what some of the subject lines were.

There are probably more, but I haven't run into them yet.

Had to sift thru 500 e-mails on the server to see what was good and what was bad. No fun. 😞

Just received a new one seconds ago...

Subject:

RE:Final Notice.

YEE HAAA!! On one of the servers, It had 768 messages sent to the SPAM folder and 86 got through with the virus in a matter of 2 hours!! The ones that got through the SPAM filter were cleaned before they went out 🙂

Does this work?

Add the following bogus email address...

[email protected]

Once the virus tries to send to that address, it stops because it's a bad email.
