Default Re: Dilibrate VIRUS Attack!

We all get the Masqurading Emails all the time. Hell I got one from Malfador a week or so ago. That is all find and dandy, we have learned to ignor most of these.

Its when the email is sent to another account, one that does not have your name, and includes text that addresses you BY name that has me worried.

This is what happened. I believe at some point some hacker/virus maker came up with a way to "hijack" your email and substitute a virus for a file your emailing, or simply attack itself to the email as an HTML doc.

The HTML doc. I recieved was titled Space Empires.html (Hidden was the .src extention)

I don't know what to say other than we are all at risk. Hell for all I know my system could be infected and sending out random emails with virus attachements despite my Anti Virus software and PestPatrol anti pest software.

These viruses are afterall, how Nortan and McAfee (same company) stay in business.

(Hummmmmmm, I wonder who it could be making these new viruses??? Duhhhhhhhhhhhh)
