Hey just to let everyone hear know. I got an E-mail spoof that jacked this website's E-mail. This spoofed E-mail had a virus on it's download. If you get one DO NOT OPEN IT! It said, "this is bad" and the return ended with "@casebook.org" so do not be fooled. You might be next, luckly for me I know a computer expert or I'd have a major computer problem myself no doubt. I just wanted to warn you all about this problem so you all can avoid it too. Thank you, Melissa McMahan |

Thank you, Melissa.
I formatted my hard disk drive just a couple of weeks ago and I sure don't want to do it again in the near future.
Thanks for the warning.
All the best

If it's any comfort, I had a new experience a couple of days ago - an email purporting to come from my own address, with a virus attached!
"Trust no one" is definitely a good motto these days ...

I just wanted to make sure nobody got this, it's a bad one from what Joe told me. He's the computer expert I know. So anyway, I just hope everyone avoids it. |

Hey all. I had two e-mails from Chris George and one from Stephen with attachments, and then I heard from Chris who said he was getting them from ME! This virus seems to be using names and e-mails from this site specifically. Be very careful! |

Gotta love Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express. It's a script kiddie's wet dream.
Perhaps this might be of some assistance. As might this, this and most certainly this.
