Guest guest Posted April 25, 2002 Report Share Posted April 25, 2002 Timo: sometimes something will say it has attachment and then there wont be anything but the advertisement with the page. I sometimes wonder if this is what is the attachment when it said that one was attached. Take Care Vera ******************* Subject: Attachment = virus? Hi Group, I saw that an attachment was attached to my last message. Don't know what it is, I didn't sent it. So please don't open the attachment.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2002 Report Share Posted April 26, 2002 Vera, I read just yesterday that there people who are called "middle man" hackers. They intercept messages as they are traveling to the proper destination. They are stealth hackers so no sign of them shows. This method is especially bad, because many of them make an attachment containing a virus. My future daughter in law had this happen last week. she sent an email to a friend without an attachment. Her friends and some strangers started calling her to ask why she had don this to them. At first she did not know what they were talking about. Then she realized what had happened. The reason the strangers got involved is because the virus was programmed to enter anyone's address book and sends itself to many people. Vigilance and a good virus program are a must now days.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2002 Report Share Posted April 26, 2002 Hi all, Today already I have had 32 attempts to break into my computer through a "trojan horse backdoor". It is essential that you have good virsus protection these days more than ever. A firewall is also a good idea.
