Did it come to your AR15.com address?
If so (and if we protected your system), please send a 6 pack of beer to Goatboy ! [:D] |

I got it too. It came from [email protected]. The wormy file was attached, but I deleted it without downloading. I had a couple of others, also. I don't remember the names because I deleted them too fast. Didn't think to warn the others till after I had deleted them.

This is serious, even though it sounds ridiculous, but could this be considered a terrorist attack?
Under the state of affairs and the laws, who would benefit from it except anti gun nuts? |

I got a .pif file attachment from our very own DonR! I doubt it's terrorism, just a virus that spanks your email address book in an attempt to reproduce itself.

Lets not gang up on these people. Most of the time you can have a virus and know nothing about it. Did anyone email the person back letting them know they had the virus?

Sorry Jarhead. I think you're right. We installed Norton 2002 Saturday and removed it from our computer.

Quoted: Sorry Jarhead. I think you're right. We installed Norton 2002 Saturday and removed it from our computer. Hey, no problem, brother. I just wrote it off as what it was: you got zapped, and it got passed on unbeknownst to you. |
