Last night my computer completely crashed! I lost everything on my C Drive! I don't know if it had anything to do with that email or not, but I received it from someone and I guess it was the type of virus that attaches every email address and sends. I did'nt even know I had your email address? Or did you send me one before?

Anyways, I just got finished reloading XP, but my C drive is prety empty! Gotta reload lots of software now. :mad:

There is a nasty WS32.Klein virus going around. I would suggest you get Norton or Mcafee!!!

I've been seeing a lot of virus-generated email in two mailboxes I use. It looks like the virus "steals" an email address and a subject line from the infected user's mailboxes, then re-mails itself with the faked return address and that subject line. I've been seeing stuff bouncing back to me that I never sent.

I'm running linux, so I know I'm not infected. :)

I bet it didn't even come from Jeff's account.

I've seen virus email lately that claimed to be from me, but I'm not even running the OS / mail client that the virus affects.

Yeah, linux rocks. Conversely, windows sucks!

Free online clean up service...I use their regular stuff and prefer it to many others.

I've been getting a shitload of viruses lately as well....fortunately, yahoo mail runs a Norton filter so no infections yet! Combine that with my personal one, and I stay clean.
