Atrocities, I just sent you an e-mail apologizing for the virus sent to you . I enjoy everything you have done for SEIV in general and this mod in particlular and would not do anything to hurt you or anyone ,but to accuse someone of being a diabolical mastermind focusing on just you is ludicruss . I e-mailed you because you requested my game files because I was have a problem with the game which I thanked you for as you helped me out once before .Everyone out there reading this has more knowledge about computers and software in your little pinkies than I have all toghther . Please forgive my babbling and spelling as I'm very upset at the moment. By the way my e-mails do state that " all attachments are protected by macafree securities" and I do have the Norton's software installed in my computer . So please take my word that nothing was done intentioally and I'm sorry for any inconvience I've caused you , Atrocities

You may not have sent the file. From what we can tell it was a virus maskerading as an HTML file.

Save Games are not HTML format. Therefore the files you sent were not the files I received. This means that at some point those files were changed. Now how could that have occured? I am left to beleive that who ever sent me this file (the HTML one) did so by hyjacking your email. Again why would they do this? I simply do not know.

I did not use names, and I do not believe you had anything to do with it so rest easy.

It is most likely the virus masquerading itself by using his email, I just had this same problem with my AKO account when the Army computers where hit and I was one of the unlucky ones to have my email pulled. I have already gotten back several Messages complaining that I sent them a virus when I didn’t. That is why I was asking if you knew who it was from. It may not be on your computer mrscrogg, it may be in the server that your mail routes through. In any case I would check to make sure that your virus software is up to date.

Had the same **** 30 minutes ago !!

one mail adressed to me personally (same as AT)
The text said : turn attached (I'm playing some PBEM's), but NO subject.

Because I didn't know the name of the Sender I didn't trust it and deleted the message, only than Norton came alive (I guess he was sleeping) and warned me.

Weird, I'm affraid someone from PBW or this forum is f*cking.
