IowaDeerHunter Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Got this email the other day drom this someone, I have no clue who it is. he wants me to open the stuff, I doubt it! What do you all think? Hello, First, Very Sorry for my bad English. Someone is sending your private e-mails on my address. It's probably an e-mail provider error! At time, I've got over 10 mails on my account, but the recipient are you. I have copied all the mail text in the windows text-editor for you & zipped then. Make sure, that this mails don't come in my mail-box again. bye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Re: Is this a virus??? IDH,,,,,HIT THE DELETE BUTTON,,,,If this was ligit he would have just forward them to you in open text. There is no reason to zip them and make them an executable.....I would be very wary,,and lean towards the safe side and DELETE them A.S.A.P.

IowaDeerHunter Posted April 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Re: Is this a virus??? I never did open it. Just previewed what it said. Glad I didn't! All my friends wereon MSN last night, I wasn't, but someone had a virus, and it sent it to everyperson he talked to. Not a good thing.

ILSNIPER1 Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Re: Is this a virus??? You don't always have to click/open an attachment to get nailed. Some viruses like Worms are in the e-mail itself.. just opening the e-mail will let the worm in. Most people think "Well, as long as you don't open the attachment you'll be fine!" WRONG! I think some of you should watch this! Malware Threats - Demo Later, Phil B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
