Civic1200 Discussion Board: : Email and Virus
sue, I got one of those too a few days back, no it does not mean your infected, just someone with your email addy is.......or they got your email from someplace and are using it to send out viruses, and yes there is a program out that you can do that with.
i just received an email from "connie" saying that on a certain day whe could not access my website civic1200.com...now that's funny since it is not our web site. looks like someone is surfing for email addresses on the civic site.
I just received the following email. Can anyone tell me what it means-have I been infected with this virus???

I set up my email again on my computer to check the message header. This is where you can see how it arrived at your in box.
As it turns out the message did not come directly from a member on this board, it came from MAJUTERA-YJHFHA ([219.93.228.82])
This creep used a members email address to disguise where it really cam from.
This I could not check from my providers web site. I had to down load it to examine the message header.
When I looked at the list of emails with the virus attachment one thing stood out, a good percent had either honda spelled out in the address or it containd CRX, prelude, 76er, .
This low life probably got an email list from some automotive web site to use for his game.
Does any one know a way of sending a mess to MAJUTERA-YJHFHA's underwear?
we have two email accounts and the one we use specifically for when we sign up for anything. that on average gets about 20 junk mails a day and eventhough i unsubscibe to whatever it may be we still get the junk email....tis very annoying. we were away for a week and came back to find 152 junk emails.
just picked up nortons 2004 today, waste of money. I got hyjacked from ecpm.com which is a gay company that uses java to bombard your computer w/ shortcuts to everything that was popular in the 80's (sex, drugs and flock of seaguls).
I'd love to know where they are stationed so i can just go and punch people
Ed, I believe the "drink beer in the underwear" statement is meant toward justin and i and it was a previous conversation.
Shreck, i don't think it's us cause we have about 50 people in our address book and no one has said anything, but we'll double check just to make sure.
We were just at the Langley car show (really big car show over here) and god people love the civics
Twyla
what does :
Dont drink beer in your underwear! Hint Hint
mean ????.... I have never heard that one before .
and can you help me out.... I too, was receiving tons of emails with attachments from a security@microsoft.com email address. it looked like it was authentic, but I didn't trust it, so I never opened it.
AND... after doing a bit of research I found that the sobig virus uses this MO.
after doing some more research, I found that if you have Windows ME, you don't need to update any software to avoid the sobig virus, because ME doesn't have the same flaws as all the other operating systems affected .... is that correct ???
Ed
I just checked my providers wed site for my mail and there is an email with the attached virus from someone on this board. It was received on my providers wed site at 8:15 EDT. You do have my address. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dont drink beer in your underwear! Hint Hint
got to http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger and download the stinger, it will pick up the trogans that even norton will sometimes miss, I know norton missed 4 in my computer at work, just remember if you have the "restore" capability you need to turn it off before running it or your computer will not let the stinger in to claen out those files. It has been a nasty worm.
My computer is completly free, updated, patched and de-spied, it's just a pain all the emails coming in. In one sitting I received 30 files that had the virus attachment.
I just want to make sure my data is secure, I am more worried about a family member opening one of these when I am not around.
Sobig virus. It's been contained on all key computers. Your computer or your mail server is probably still infected:
Run Windows Update and make sure you have all critical updates installed.
Scan your computer. If you don't have anti-virus software, you can get scanned here:
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
If you're using XP, enable your firewall.
Personally, I have a filter set-up on Outlook Express to automatically delete any email with an attachment and/or any file over 20kb (you can look at the deleted files manually and see if any are legitimate). Also go into your options and make sure that the "Automatically download message when viewing in the Preview Pane" is NOT checked. If it's checked, your hard-drive has been comprimised. Best to back up all your personal files and reformat/reinstall your O/S.
FIRST thing after your fresh O/S install -- run Windows Update and install ALL of the critical updates (allow the whole day if you're on dial-up)! Install all up-to-date drivers for your hardware. Install your anti-virus software (if you have it...if not, get it). Then go to Outlook Express and create filters (and disable the "Auto download message in preview pane"). Lastly, you could install a software firewall and block UDP port 8998.
Ok, now anybody that just read all that please send $25 to my PayPal account for your Internet Security consultation fee :D
It sounds like that "so big" vurus. I have only had one sent to me but Norton picked it up instantly.
I was just wondering how many of you are getting bombarded with Email's containing Virus attachments.

If any one has been trying to send me an email, I have removed that account from my computer. And I am not removing the messages from my providers web site. Currently there are over 60 messages containing these attachments, there are about 30 per day coming. My hope is that these are going to be bounced back to however has the virus, or the party sending them out.
