Truck99 Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 I received them at work at my e-mail address ending in tx.us and at my home address ending in rr.com. In both instances, the sender tried to make it appear that they were an account administrator. The file they want you to open appears to be a legitimate web page at first glance. Very clever, but I smelled something funny, so I did not click the link. This is the first confirmation I've seen that it's a virus. Thanks Jason, cs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickHolt Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Jason, I receivedone from the spoofed TSZ "administrator" and an identical one from the SBCGlobal "administrator" one right after the other. I deleted them both. I keep my Norton Anti-Virus up to date on all my puters... Nick Holt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SASPEEDRACER24 Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Even though recently I have been a virus magnet I have yet to have that one come up in my spam folder or regular mail so far... We'll see how long that lasts... Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 I got one along those same lines and it looked like it was from my internet provider too. Thank goodness they stoped it and it never made it to my in box. I kinda figured it was a virus because of the zip file attachment. But, like Chase this is my first confirmation that it was a virus. Is that the only way you can get viruses---is through emails? Or can you get them from visiting web pages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelracewriter Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Kathy just make sure to wash your hands thoroughly with an anti-bacterial soap after visiting web pages! Oh wait......wrong type virus...... My Bad! LOLOLOLOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
