Yahoo's new intelligence service, and why

February 5, 2004

According to this delightful message, when a spamguard tagged message

appears, all one has to do is click on attachment to receive the message.

I myself have found this to be true in a few cases, but, alas, not all--and no,

they will NOT take it off as the new Mydoom or Novarg virus is devastating

the computer communication world, which is also true.

What I have found to do to get my posts through is to vary the subject line,

and never repeat it. However, what the Spamguard and some pc computer

anti-virus programs now do is see one name (as is used in Outlook Express)

or one e-mail address more than twice and then tag the rest of that person's

posts as Spam because they are in a batch. In other words, post individually,

then wait until your post has appeared on the list and been

accepted before posting again.

My virus protection is so good that I disabled its own pop-up blocker and

mail sensor feature as the constantly running scanner catches stuff any

way--even a ping and deletes it. Yahoo's program does not disable those

features for fear that all of Yahoo may be seized by this ghastly virus.

That is the best that I could come up with on my first run.

Love to everyone at cfparents; clean up those computers, gang and vary

those subject lines and hit those attachment buttons or labels and we may

yet survive this.

THIS PROGRAM DOES NOT REALLY MEAN THAT ANY ONE MESSAGE IS

VIRUS-LADEN; THE SYSTEM SIMPLY LOOKS FOR SYSTEM-WIDE PROBABLE

INDICATORS!

Now, wonder if this will go through!

More love to everyone at cfparents, especially Torsten and !
