VIRUS ALERT!! Please read

[Swamp_Fox]

My E-mail account is getting hammered with e-mails containing the W32.Sobig.F virus or Blaster virus. I woke up this morning to find over a 100 e-mails with the Worm. Please update your virus programs and patch your systems. I've alredy noticed some e-mails with people that sent me a request for pin trades. Mods please this post at the top to help others

The following info may help.

VIRUS ALERT - W32.Sobig.F@mm is a mass-mailing, network-aware worm that sends itself to all the email addresses it finds in certain files on your PC. If you receive a message with an attachment with a .pif or .scr extension, we strongly suggest you scan it before downloading. The message may appear to be from someone you know.

Good Luck,

Larry

Thanks for the warning Larry. I know that virus tried to dig itself into our coumpters at work but luckily it was found and deleted without a problem. Who knows what it could have done since we start school this week and everything is on computer now.
Just as an aside, I NEVER send any attachments to anyone. If I want someone to see something I will send them a link to a site, never an attachment.
So if you receive mail from me with an attachment don't open it and let me know.
I have tons of you on my mail list due to the Pin Swaps and recent letters I sent to everyone so I would hate to see a virus pick up my mail list and destroy all of your computers. Peggie
