On-Topic Virus Alert

[mac5732]

Viruses don't have to only be off the net, Several yrs ago, I bought a software program and luckly I checked the programa before I installed, In the program was a Virus straight from the Manufacturer. I called the company, they checked, and found a virus was somehow put into all that software, they had to try and contact everyone who bought it. No it wasn't a wargame, thank goodness, because then I probably would have just downloaded it without cking. \

I agree with Puke, those who want to play go play in the chatrooms and leave us who dream of conquest do our thing and leave us alone

just some ideas mac

Yes, capnq, that's why I didn't give the name of the sender, who is probably a victim, not a perpetrator.

My policy is: I NEVER open unsolicited attachments, without first requesting and then receiving separate confirmation from the sender. If everybody would do this, these viruses would go nowhere.

A good Idea on both and you are prob right on him being a victim
