Just got a returned email...

Apparently "I had sent a message" that contained a virus. This was to an address I do not know (from my msn address)

Apparently, the spoofers want me to read 2 files. Hell no!

1 peculiar thing is, my virus scanner, which is highly sensitive, did not react to the contents.

I deleted the email after reading the headers.

Solution I am going for: Increase network security, and email security.

So people: if you get any email from me from now on, it should be labeled with what it contains if and only if I send you something attatched. Just as a precaution.

If I'll get any email from you, I'll just erase it as a precaution [

Standard spoof. Probably picked up your email address somewhere on the net. Usual porn site I imagine.

That's why I write the number of the turn and sign in every save that I send you all by email for my PBEMs.

That way, you know it can't be a virus. It takes me 10 seconds to do it all and ensures a total security... until the next generation of viruses.
