I also received it to my box but when I read the information on it, figured its not something someone would normally send unless it was a virus. Nothing is worse than knowing you are the cause of a virus going out but once that happens...there is nothing you can do but hope it doesnt get anyone.!!!! I'm sure Renate feels horrible...she's a very sweet person! ~*~ AJ ~*~ Bellingham, WA Age 37 5'8'' Open DS self pay - Dr Baltasar -Alcoy Spain 07/24/01 BMI 64 415.1 08/24/01 BMI 58 386.5 -28.6 lbs! 09/24/01 BMI 55.8 367.1 -48.0 lbs! -37.75 inches 10/21/01 BMI 52.9 348.0 -67.1 lbs! -50.0 inches My profile: http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/profile.phtml?N=E982002956 My website: www.wls4aj.homestead.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 21, 2001 Report Share Posted October 21, 2001 Dee, Somebody recently sent me a .exe file and I deleated it immediatly and mailed them back and asked them not to send exectable attachements. Many viruses spread by taping ones mail list and sending themselves out to eveyrone on the list. A good way to recognize them is the files are executables or other unrecognized formats, the message that comes with them is generic like " I thought you might find this intersting " or " look at this " . I always delete these files immidately and empty my trash.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2001 Report Share Posted October 21, 2001 AJ, thanks for the info - I wasn't sure who she was. I just hope that she knows she has a virus so she can take care of it. I know some of the viruses attach to the address book and send emails like crazy without the person's knowledge. Take care, dee --- lookn2bthin@... wrote: Renate is a Dr. Baltasar patient and I'm sure was unaware of the problem __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
