I am having the same problem. I unsubscribe to that Insane Pictures List a

least a dozen times and I still get a message that I am newly subscribed. Until

your post I had no idea where theu were getting my name from. Is there any way

to stop this harassment?

Everytime I send a post to this list (and I am positive that it's

this list), I get automatically subscribed to a list called " Insane

Pictures " . Within seconds of posting here, I will get an email in my

box saying " thank you for subscribing " , every single time. I emailed

the web master of that site and they said the KLEZ virus causes this,

but that I am not the infected party. The person/place I am emailing

is the infected party, which would mean that this group is somehow

infected. Anyone else getting subscribed to this list or is it just

me?

I emailed their webmaster and they put me on a " banned " list. Now, instead

of saying I've been subscribed, it says I can't be subscribed. I set my

message rules in Outlook Express to put it in the deleted folder. I

couldn't figure out any other way to stop it.

I don't know what's up, except that it's annoying. I kind of doubt that

yahoo groups would let an infection like this go on, but maybe.

In other words, I don't know nothing !!!!!

I emailed the Web Master of the site that owns that list, and here was his

exact response to me:

***************

Hello,

Sorry for any inconvienence. It would be the KLEZ virus that's subscribing

you over and over again. It fakes email headers and sends out emails. You

don't need to be infected for it to affect you, only that whoever is

infected has your email address somewhere in their mailbox.

What I'll do is add your email address to the banned list so that way you

can't be added at all. If it keeps happening please contact me.

Thanks.

***************

His email address is insane_pics@.... Maybe if everyone emailed

him, he'd try and do something about it.

I get automatically subscribed to this list also. I could never figure out

how! But this fits. I was not reading or posting for 2 months and did not

have this problem. Earlier this week when I posted, sure enough, I was

subscribe to Insane Pictures.

Well, not exactly. It took this addy from the victim's mailbox addy. So,

it mails to and/or from randomly. I get attempts at this virus from MYSELF.

LOL!

Well, if EVERYONE on this list would run an updated virus checker it

would clean off the KLEZ virus and this would stop. But the infected

person needs to do this in order for this to work. I have Norton

Antivirus on my computer and it updates daily. It's not that

expensive and it would make everyone's life a lot easier.

Please, everyone, if your computer doesn't have some sort of anti-

virus software on it, that is UPDATED regularly, get some! There are

numerous programs out there. Not only is this a nuisance, but some

viruses can wipe out your entire computer. Not good!

You can set your Norton to run while you're at work or asleep, so it can

suck in the latest info, and update your files you are bug proof fresh

daily. I think my " right to update " was $21 for the year. The original

software was ..? $50 with a $20 rebate?

This is not completely true... I send and recieve yahoo!groups mail

only thru the website. I don't use my computer to send mail to

Graduate-OSSG. I also get the subscription messages.... But only when

I send messages to Graduate-OSSG. Furthermore, my computer is UNIX

based and not susceptible to KLEZ. Therefore the problem is not the

sender... it's somehow the list... Yahoo!Groups has the problem...

they need to clean it up.... The question becomes how do we put this

back in their laps??????
