Email Virus?

6foot4 · 2003-08-31, 08:39 AM

I get like 10+ emails a day saying.. see attached file.. RE: That movie etc.... all viruses I believe.. so I dont even download them..

Wondering if anyone else is getting these?
I get them from email addresses I know.. like x3scripts.com etc..

Umm......have you been living in a cave for the past week or 2?

10 would be a pleasure. I was getting about 1000 a day on one of my email accounts. (For those who are following, it's down to about 150 a day! Yeah for progress! If it goes down under 50 a day I will be able to turn the account back on.)

Here is the reason you may be getting them from people you know....

guess I have just been lucky to not get them till now

Yeah they suck! I have gotten some from big repitable TGP's I think I had posted that maybe a year ago on GG's other board. Apparently they are able to send them using other sites emails

get the heart paddles, this ones in bad shape..... JK

Check out www.firetrust.com and use Mailer Washer Pro it solves that iss for the most part.

Extreme John, I have to say thank you....

I downloaded Mail Washer and its brilliant.... I'm surprised my thread got lost so quickly when I screamed that I had bouncing emails everywhere...

6foot4... all I can say is take note of what Extreme John says and if I had only been getting 10+ emails a day and not the hundreds per hour I would have been laughing cause at least it would have been manageable

Good luck in dealing with your email viruses....

Cheeky, glad to see it's working out for you, there program called Benin is pretty amazing as well.

I cant take the credit for Mail Washer Pro though, Danger Dave turned me onto that one.

X per day or X per hour would be nice. I'm currently getting hit at rate of 100 per min |pissed| I stopped retrieving from the servers and only use encrypted email to and from those who I know.

It started late for me and has turned into an avalanche. And yes I tried filters and spam proggies. |pissed|

(and virus coders)

I must be doing something right - just don't know what...

In my entire on-line life of over 7 years I only once had a virus, and that was delivered with pre-installed software from a computer vendor (Great Service)! About 2 weeks ago I got hit for the first time by this spyware thing (see prev. post which might have disappeared with board crash), and I never had much trouble with spam emails. Forgot to empty my mail box yesterday, so today there were 2 emails = that's it from 2 days...

6foot4 · 2003-08-31, 09:18 PM

I have been using Mailwasher Pro for months now.. perhaps that is why i have been so lucky with only a few slipping through in the last few days..

Dr Bizzaro · 2003-08-31, 09:37 PM

My point was that so many people have been taking and complaining about this for weeks, it was kinda hard to miss.

6foot4 · 2003-09-01, 09:11 AM

I don't frequent boards much as I have been to busy with work.. so I have only really heard about it from sources like Dell etc.. with there Virus alerts..
