New virus warning.
 

Just recieved this in an email and guessed it best to pass it on just in case there was something in it. I never open attachments that come through but there are some that may do.


Subject: Fw: Anyone-using Internet mail such as Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL and so on

usual spoof email which is viral in its own right in sucking up bandwidth and storage on mail servers.

I was kind of hoping this was the case Ian tbh I hate this kind of stuff and there is so much of it coming through these days you kind of get lost in the true and garbage.:)

Re: New virus warning.
 

And why post a link that you don't know what it is?

Neil i didnt mean to get the link but was too late to edit before i realised id got it.

Re: New virus warning.
 

Could I be so bold as to suggest that people leave warnings like this sort of things to a select number of the "techies"? After all its people like Neil, Andrewb, Roy, Mick, Studio25, myself and a few others that would actually know when there is something for you 'non techies' to worry about and let us warn you?

That way you can worry less about whats valid and not valid and more on enjoying Accyweb :D

Re: New virus warning.
 

This way we all know that if we get it we can ignore it, rather than you or others receiving loads of mails about the same thing we can all be advised at once that its fake

Re: New virus warning.
 

look its common sense.. you see this and throw it away..

Re: New virus warning.
 

For gods sake I didnt put this on here to be attacked by you bloody know it alls:mad:

This was put on purely out of concern for others.
Weather you agree or not there are many who would show serious concern over this kind of thing and sadly dont have the pleasure of knowing good hearted techies. The link was an accident and hopefully no one would use it and maybe one of our mods could edit it

wish Id not bothered now.
Accyweb is supposed to be a friendly forum not somewhere to be attacked for trying to do the right thing:mad:

Re: New virus warning.
 

is this by PM or something... cant see anyone attacking you in here...

however your name calling is noted thanks :(

Go easy on the lass - she is a bad way at the mo - reacting to a yellow fever vaccine.

Re: New virus warning.
 

:rolleyes:ok

Re: New virus warning.
 

She was trying to warn others, I know there are many many spoof's going around but you can never be too sure and she was just trying to pass a warning onto the rest of us incase it was genuine.

Thank you for the warning, eventhough it was not genuine at least we all know now incase it happens to turn up in with our emails

Re: New virus warning.
 

No Problem emzy Just glad someone has had enough intelligence to see that I didnt put this on here to cause uproar or start a slanging match, and Im not going to be drawn into one either. But it is typical of what accyweb is becoming these days. Talk about folk jumping on the bandwagon:rolleyes:
Margaret thanks for your concern but Im fully recovered now from my slight vaccine setback :);)

Re: New virus warning.
 

Yet again, another case of someone trying to be helpful, getting jumped on from all angles.

And then people wonder why no one posts anymore
