Warning... A Huge Virus Is Out There!!
Ok kids, there is a huge worm virus going around and it's
infecting everyone. What it does is it takes your contact list and sends out a message from you to everyone in your list. It's pretty smart and it takes random topics from your existing messages and changes the subject in each message to everyone. So if this thing keeps going you might be getting a shitload of emails EVERYDAY from different people with different subjects. So if you do not know someone, it's safe to say, NEVER OPEN an attachment!! Here are a couple body's of the messages: -- Hi! How are you? I send you this file in order to have your advice See you later. Thanks --- Hola como estas ? Te mando este archivo para que me des tu punto de vista Nos vemos pronto, gracias. --- just delete these! 115641385 AGROout

Actually, it opens your "My Documents" folder and sends out random files in it (JPG, MPEG, ZIP, GIF, ect.) to people on your Outlook Address book.
I have got it 2 times, and just block the address the first time, and you won't get it again. Tip: NEVER OPEN ATTATCHMENTS! Unless you know it was coming, and NEVER open .EXE or files with extentions your don't understand. snyx

um I've had 14 of these sent to me in the past 3 days. i keep blocking the sender's address but every time it comes from a different sender....
simple ira 2000 john frederick kevin walshe lj keller crawford realty and so on. just erase anything from anyone you don't know and up the level of junk mail protection on your inbox. since i've done that they've pretty much stopped and it's all getting filtered to the trash.

I use outlook, and I hate it!
It sometimes feels that it didnt close right SO IT JUST DELETES ALL MY EMAILS IN THAT FODLER gone, poof! (all my settings are right) Or it freezes up on receving email! AND HAD BAD JUNKMAIL PROTECTION! But I have tried all the alternatives, and THEY suck as well. fuck

yupp, somthing happened without you knowing most likely.
you might want to download and run a antivirus ASAP, or if you know alot about computers, or knows a friend who does, they might wanna run over (link below) and remove the virus manualy. This link gives the full detail on this worm, its not a terrible one, more anoying. http://www.mcafee.com/anti-virus/vir...t.asp?cid=2360 DEFINATLY, download McAfee antivirus software below. http://shawcable.tucows.com/adnload/195381_75507.html This should be done by everyone too, if you know you have a virus, or even if you don't know. Chances are you proboly have something lurking around in there. snyx

k. this is not good. i opened the attachment. it said amp sent it to me & i know i'm on their mailing list. mcafee from hotmail supposedly scanned it before i opened it & said there was no virus. so what's up w/that?? and after i opened it, the first one was a budget plan/liability agreement for renting the coliseum. i haven't noticed change in my comp. so IS there something wrong?? cuz Mcafee scaned it & said nothing..........
