its really a pity with this virus mails - I do not open attachements
anymore - everybody can include interresting information by copying it - I am
also member of another group - and they do not open attachements, too. I am not
really trusting in antivirus systems, I prefer not opening dates which I do not
know exactly.

Subject: [strawbale] Virus warning -
again !
Hello Strawbalers
It seem to be difficult to be connected. Today I
got 2 virusinfected e-mails both comming from the strawbale group -
but not from a known name.
The first one from "support" -
called: (strawbale) sos
and the next from " Mahli" -
called: (strawbale) Eager to see you
so please don't open mail with this
text.
I didn't open up and I my antivirus system tells
me that I have no virus, but I got 2 messages just now from servers telling me
that they have send mails from me in return - but I have sent no mail
!!!!!
It's the 4 time that I got virus / mails with
virus through this group. Its really a pity. We are probably an easy
vulnerable group. Can we -as a group- ask ( demand ?) people to buy an
antivirus system ? and to be more carefull when they open up the mails?
I have learnt the hart way now, I hope. I got the
virus by the two first "attacs" ( 20 -30 hours work) but I recognized the
devil by the two last attacs.
So I wonder: Do we have some one in the group
with good knowledge about virus ???? Can
somebody put up some lines about things we have to look up for ?
I found out to be carefull opening up mail ending
on ".exe", and mail without a name + having an appendix / enclosure (I am not
sure what its called in english). Its the only
thing I know to look up for. But maybe other people have other good ideas
????
