I've got all the latest Microsoft security patches installed, and I check my HD with AVG antivirus and adaware frequently...

same here, no infection to report.
Could really be a french adress or a quebec one.

Does anyone has this test@club-internet.fr in it's adress book? Got a warning from them that I had sent them a virus but I'm clean. Unknown enemy, could Stephan have a virus?

I get like 2 or 3 emails with such viruses every night lately. My Virus detector immediately deletes the attachments,and then I delete the email and I update my detector whenever I am not doing anything for 10 seconds. I especially never touch an email I don't know anything about. The emails aren't very convincing anyway. Half the time they don't even have any text. One of them I don't even know which was worse the fact someone was trying to give me a virus or that they obviouslly think I am an idiot. It said, and only said,

Take a look at this attachment.

Edit: oh, and I downloaded all the updates for my OS. Took up a lot of my download for this month, but better safe than sorry.

I'll ask stephane to check that this evening, and I'll ask Olivier (Trinity) to do the same.

I got an email that I had sent a virus to someone in county court in Colorado??? I don't know anyone in Colorado nor email anyone there??(nesky) Chek'ed my comp with Norton, adware, Pest Control, Panda and Stop Sign, Macafee... Everything was clean... So I talked with a friend of mine who is comp lit. and he said there is a program that some hackers use and it automatically generates random emails that are listed on the net and sends the virus'es out under those email handles and that your machine actually is not the one sending the viruses. whether this is true I don't know as everyone knows I'm not that comp literate. But I thought I would pass this one to everyone for your info... So it could be a program that generates your email and sends it out and its not your computer or your system doing it...

just some ideas Mac
