Virus

Post by Greg Lutzow »

To whom it may concern;

In the process of downloading my e-mail this evening, my virus firewall flagged a message as having a viral attachment. The attachment is called "WELDATA.EXE". Please be aware and don't open this file. I deleted the file immediately without opening it and as such cannot tell you what merryment it will cause.

Greg,

Smart idea. Lately, I am getting an *.exe file a day flagged as a virus. It has gotten so bad that I am not routing anything but mail and *.jpg files into my inbox. The rest get filtered out before i see them. Never open an *.exe file arriving in the mail unless you are certain about it's origin. Same holds true with visual basic files and other suffix's. More and more it seems that you can't really trust anything not already known to you, so be careful.
