If anyone is receiving emails from my fnk.ca account, please do not open it. I was informed by Kraig that apparently my email has been affected and spamming people involuntarily.

Also... anything from *administrator@fnk.ca* !!! This is NOT a valid email account.

[decypher]

The truth is Kimmie is sending the secret/underground Korean porn that she has been doing recently... accidently, she forwarded this porn to the F&K community which also contains a virus....

Hmmmmm... decisions... click on the file with Korean porn and have ones computer get infected with a virus, or not.

[kiMMie]

The interesting thing is... none of my emails have attachments. and I've only opened 4 emails (all without attachments) from secure sources. The rest I've just trashed immediately.

Hmmm... quite interesting :soak:

When you were young did your mother just tie you to the tetherball pole or did she just put up electrified fences?

I'm just grasping for an explanation.

[Antenna_Boy]

^^go read through some encyclopedias :eyes: for more information on your quest to determine an explanation...i'm sure you have loads of time to do that. :185:

Somehow about 4 copies of the Nimda virus and 6 copies of the Pica worm virus showed up on my computer this morning, as files in folders like My Music, My Documents etc. I don't know how they arrived, maybe in email. It looks like the Pica virus was sitting on my computer for several days in a VBS file called "Open.FP3...", and the Nimda came in as files called citbal3d.eml, cithomed.eml, nimda.eml, etc

I never open email attachments, the virus might have come in from Javascript code contained in HTML in messages viewed in Outlook Express. I have all the updates for XP but have now changed a few things in Outlook.

Or maybe they got in through web page code.

I had my hardware router box removed for a few days due to a long internet outage last weekend, so maybe they got in somehow thru an open port. Firewall router box now running.

McAfee security caught them and deleted most of the virus files but some of them were undeletable and it took a while to get rid of those.

The virus files did not appear to execute and did not change anything on my PC, and they did not resend themselves as email to any other people (I hope).

I dunno, seems like a simple decision to me...click on the file with Korean porn and have ones computer get infected with a virus...just make sure that the "ones computer" ain't yours, but someone else's...or one at an internet cafe (one day I'm convinced we'll see some lame media brou-ha-ha over a celeb (male, of course) being busted for pleasuring themselves in an internet cafe, similar to when Pee Wee Herman was arrested in a porno theatre years back...internet = new generation of porno theatre)

thanks for the heads up man.

[All!e]

In my fnk mail account I recieved emails from

staff@fnk.ca
administration@fnk.ca
support@fnk.ca
noreply@fnk.ca

i deleted all of them .. not to mention a total of 30 junk/virus emails in the last few weeks.

[Antenna_Boy]

So far my email account is free from viruses. Who is in charge of making sure that most viruses don't go through? If anyone is in charge.
