Someone sent me an ugly mail today. My virus scane caught it but...
Before comming back on the board I spent an hr or so cleaning up my machine. Just to make sure I'm getting ready to wipe it and start over.
Anyway here's the drill, there are a couple of HAMBers in my adress book. I have not sent an e-mail to anyone today, I certainly haven't sent anything with an attachment.
If you get anything from me donot open it.
I will PM everyone in question, but I just want to cover all the bases.
Sorry to clutter the board with this.

It may be someone else on the board that doesn't know it. I got one with the KlezH Virus yesterday. Don't remember the email address, but my Virus protection caught it and deleted the attachment.

If its KlezH that you have, I ran a free program off the net from Symantec that dletes the Virus, plus installs a fake version in your Computer. That way, even if your AntiVirus misses it, the virus see's the fake version of itself and doesn't re-infect your system.

By the way, when I ran the Symantec program it found 20,000+ infected files and nearly all of them were MSNmessenger files.
