Hi! How are you?

I send you this file in order to have your advice

See you later. Thanks






Have any of you people got that message? I get a few of those everyday! Man it's so annoying. They attack a file too and I always have to delete their message first before I can view my hotmail emails or else it says YOU HAVE EXCEED BLAH BLAH BLAH PLEASE DELETE EMAILS WITH ATTACHMENTS. Someone on ICQ msg me that he opened the file and he said it screwed up his computer. What does that file actually do?

Read some of ther other posts here. It's called the Sircam virus.

That is the worm virus that is going around. Been discussed in quite a few threads lately.

at least it looks to be slowing down now finally...

Well... err... yes... viral spam would have to be the worst... :D

Symantec has recently upgraded the level of this virus. We are not finished with this one yet - it will resurface from infected "quiet" machines in October...

231 times roughly 200k or so each time - I bet you're sick of waiting for your e-mail to download. :)

rotfl! for some reason that really made me laugh :D

I got like... 200 in the last few days but it's slowing down now...


hmm... yea Greg had to wait for my email for a long long time...

you know, i haven't received a single one. i don't know whether i should pat myself on the back for my amazing safety precautions or mourn my lack of friends... hehehe :D

worst kind of spam is that stuff that comes from an address like M35FKJ45343598G@msn.com and is telling you how to get a merchant account, or get out of debt. I HATE that stuff, and get so much of it - anyone looking for a merchant account is never going to go to a spammer, especially when they never give out contact details.

all spammers should have their computers taken away before they have a chance to use them ;)

Worse yet, how about those huge emails in HTML format, images and javascript embedded in them, and they are resume's (huge resumes!) they are SPAMMING you with, trying to have you hire them for your job. As if that wasn't the last thing on Earth you were hoping to get. Yes, let me hire you to do the very job I am doing... yeah, that will be really helpful.. but if we were looking to hire, you mgiht try the EMPLOYER, instead of the EMPLOYEE, let alone, you might consider the fact that no employer is going to hire some jack ass that just SPAMMED them with a giant, ugly email with large purple fonts. Yeah, that's going to work...

...don't forget the request for an e-mail receipt.
