Re: RC: Attached viruses/worms

Hi Cindy
Isn't THAT the truth!!!  I know enough not to open things from folks I
don't know or that look suspicious, but every time this person (who
probably is TOTALLY unaware she/he HAS the virus) opens their email
program, I get slammed. Wish everyone would just use their McAfee or
Symantic program at least once a week. The only way I can get rid of
these emails (which my antivirus program removes the virus but I still
have to deal with it notifying me of the problem 10-20 times/day) is to
either change my address (rather extreme and I'd rather not) or to track
down the culprit and tell them to take me off their mailing list. I know
it has to do with horses.
Please everyone on ridecamp, scan your computer for the Sir Cam virus.
IT is a dangerous one and the trigger is set for Oct 16 for it to delete
files. It is not a hoax. You can read about it at
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.sircam.worm@mm.html and
at http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=99141&
Hope you don't get on this person's mailing list!
Happy trails
Bette who'd rather be riding than deleting emails!
