If You Get An Email From Me
DO NOT OPEN IT OR READ IT1
The Email provider I use has been hacked, and all Users accounts have been used to do a mass emailing of a virus program.
I have no reason to email any of you out side of PBW, and even then I would use the game forum to contact people.
So again, if you get an email from me, and it is un-likely, DO NOT OPEN IT.
I have already switched to Hot-mail, and will not use the other email service again.
Damn hackers!

Re: If You Get An Email From Me
This sounds very much like the behavior of the W32.klez virus. This is a worm virus that emails itself to everyone in the infected computers address book. It has a twist, however, in that it randomly picks an address from the address book to place in the "from" field so that the next recipient believes the email is coming from someone they know and opens it, thereby continueing the cycle. Someone in my circle got infected over a month ago and I still am getting infected emails. For this reason, it is imperitive to maintain a good antivirus program ( I personally recommend Norton AV 2002 as it scans both incoming and outgoing emails and does auto definition updates ).

Re: If You Get An Email From Me
It would help if we knew your email.
I just got an email with a project.bat file in it. Of course, I deleted it ASAP.
