Glad someone else has been getting them, I have just been deleting them each day. Same stupid email, poorly written crap about laptops. Today I just got one from Tom Botticelli, which makes the 5th board member I have reveived this from. Grrrrr

Amazing - Bulldog is both a cracker jack lawyer AND a computer wiz. So much talent, so little time to share with the rest of us.

I haven't gotten any of these emails from anyone. I did, however, win $30 million dollars from some Nigerian lottery. I just sent off a check for $200,000 to cover the taxes which have to be paid before the funds are dispersed. Oh, and if anyone needs a link for cheap Viagara, I get those at work.........

UPS stores now sell cheap Viagra? Way to diversify Tom!

and you wont get them.>>

Sorry BcD, not true. I've gotten 4 today. I don't think I'm sending them though, so you may be partially right, although I haven't followed the link about macs yet that was posted above.

There are a lot of great FREE software programs out there to protect your computer, all of which are tested and recommended by, and downloadable free from, CNet.com

These are three programs you can get from CNet, that are a good start:
AVG Anti-Virus -- runs in the background, scans incoming emails too
Spybot Search and Destroy -- removes spyware, and has an "immunize" feature
CCleaner -- cleans irrelevant/temporary junk out of the internet folders on your C drive

There are several other good programs on CNet that do the same things. Download these, run them once in a while (the anti-virus program should be running automatically in the background), and use the update features every couple of weeks.

Might not block everything, but it's better than nothing, and cheaper than Symantec, Kaspersky and McAfee.

Also, let me know if your phone # is listed Southington. I am in Avon, CT



My Gmail flagged it as possibly from different sender.

Thanks

Dan P did just send an email explaining the previous SPAM email.

Yeah, sorry guys. It looks like someone hacked into an old email address of mine and stole my contact list.
Please add: danparadis@msn.com and seller008@188.com (the hacker) to your spam/junk email list.

One follow up question to all those "infected":
Do you use a web browser to read your email (i.e. going to gmail.com or hotmail.com) or do you have a separate email application that you use (i.e. Outlook or Thunderbird)?

I am still getting them. To me it's no huge deal as long as they don't actually infect my pc. I use both Outlook and regular yahoo mail.....both at work and home..

Outlook (PC), but I understand the emails are derived from a web browser/cookies.

I think if you have ever emailed a person before and his gets infected you get an email from him.


Is that the way this works?


I am getting them too.

Steve - not exactly. It works based on your online contact list - if you have your online email set to add every outgoing mail recipient to your contact list, then it indeed would send to everyone you ever sent to. Hotmail, by default, is not setup to work that way. I'm not sure what the default setup for AOL or GMail is.

Sorry John (and others). All it took to set this off was to open the email, I didn't click on the link. I also had an anti-virus and a firewall running, but it made it through. The main effect of this worm seems to be to have wiped out my contact list after sending emails out. I would appreciate it if you could send me an email so your email addy will be automatically added back to my contact list. bassin152@aol.com

Elliot- I got one from you also. I am not sure but I think all 5 I have received came from AOL users.
