Guest guest Posted May 31, 2001 Report Share Posted May 31, 2001 A virus can select random recipients, send random files, reply to the sender instead of the " reply-to " line, in this case the " reply-to " is gfcfkids, and it can also select part of the original e-mail to send back to you in the reply. It looks fairly personal and the attacks appear to be random which makes it REALLY look personal and mean. It isn't. The virus senders probably opened an attachment like the ones we are getting and has no idea this is going on. Someone else who received the attachment will begin doing the same thing if they do not delete it first. IF YOU DIDN'T ASK FOR IT, THEN DON'T OPEN IT!! It is rather difficult to get infected by following this rule. Hopefully the people with this problem will realize there is a problem and get help. They can quit receiving e-mail at home and read stuff from the boards until their virus problem is fixed. They can contact their ISP and any groups they belong to. I already contacted Yahoo and hopefully they can contact the person and tell them how to get their problem fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
