Thanks. freejack2k Jun 26, 2002, 06:20 AM havent heard of it m8 but i wouldnt take the chance,if its not someone u know delete it, if it is off someone u know mail them and ask them if they have sent it to you, my guess is it is a virus but im no expert regards freejack2k CdrBackupWorld Jun 26, 2002, 06:30 AM Thanks, i dont know this guy at all.. so i think its virus too by the way its designed to lure me into opening it. freejack2k Jun 26, 2002, 06:33 AM bet his birds ugly anyway!!!!!!!!! lol england4eva Jun 26, 2002, 06:33 AM hey i just read this and wonderin, u sed the email was from Tommy1979 is his email Tommy1979@hotmail.com games4u Jun 26, 2002, 06:48 AM If it was sent to your hotmail then no as all mail are scanned by them. If it is then we will have to start worrying as Hotmail scans all emails :( dvd-rip Jun 26, 2002, 07:43 AM hotmail is pish i have had a few viruses from them , there virus scan must be a no frills one. had to reformat and lost most of my stuff :( perez Jun 26, 2002, 07:55 AM i'm almost positive I read about this in a paper or mag quite recently,----and I'm sure it is a virus---delete it mate--whats the point of opening it just to see a lousy picture!!!!! CdrBackupWorld Jun 26, 2002, 09:44 AM Originally posted by england4eva hey i just read this and wonderin, u sed the email was from Tommy1979 is his email Tommy1979@hotmail.com Yes m8 it was from ur name, i couldnt see the whole email as i never even opened it.....and guess what iam NOT joking but i got another one, its 127kb this time from "Dvdzuk" and its called "Language"..i dont get it, why ppl are sending me viruses, iam a freindly guy never had argument with anyone...?? Any Ideas ppl? lancebarker2 Jun 26, 2002, 09:49 AM what you should do is put his email address into every known spamming **** webiste get your own back CdrBackupWorld Jun 26, 2002, 09:52 AM but u see these ppl are not the ones actually sending the mail, or maybe they are but they dont know, i wont easily believe that they are sending these on purpose as i dont even know em, so how could i of had a row with the guys. I mean Dvdzuk is popular around here, why the hell would he want to send viruses to ppl? CdrBackupWorld Jun 26, 2002, 09:56 AM Here is a list of my mail, i delete everything thats why it is some small, but the 2 middle ones are the suspected viruses. ================================================== == webmaster@v-rom.com V-Rom Mailer - Test Email Jun 26 1k dvdzuk Language Jun 26 127k tommy1979 Look,my beautiful girl friend Jun 26 126k steve storey SOF II/COVERS Jun 25 2k aidan tinker NOCHEX Money Received Jun 25 2k ================================================== = CdrBackupWorld Jun 26, 2002, 10:06 AM I took a screenshot of my hotmail and u can see the 2 mails here: ********uk.geocities.com/immortal_smoke/hotmail1.JPG to see it copy and paste into address bar, and enter :furious::mad: :o Dunny Jun 26, 2002, 10:14 AM while were on the subject someone called chaser should check for virus' as im getting a lot of dodgy lookin attachments coming from his email ;) yogi_uk Jun 26, 2002, 10:19 AM people don't neccesarily send a virus to someone, if they are infected themselves then often the virus will send emails to people itself. just delete the mails, that girlfriend one sounds very suss. eggmany2k2001 Jun 26, 2002, 10:19 AM the best thing to do is mail the people back.tell them you didnt open it as you dont know em. ask them to check to see if they're comp is infected. if you get a nasty reply back you know somethings up. and always scan your mail.especially if you dont know who its from. hope you get on alright CdrBackupWorld Jun 26, 2002, 10:23 AM Ill just delete em, i just thought i let u ppl know that this funny thing is happening to me, i dont think the ppl who it says actally sent em , i have already said that, who would be stupid enought to do that? all u ppl now now not to open em if u get them in ur inbox. Thanks :tup: texaspete Jun 26, 2002, 10:31 AM Hi M8, I get allkinds of Sh8te on my works e-mail addy and that girlfriends one of them I always delete it, I think its something to do with the klez virus. I dont think whoever you've got it off knows they've sent it - might be wrong though. dvd-rip Jun 26, 2002, 01:09 PM It never fails just when you think that you`ve had ur turn of viruses , another fuker jumps in ur comp and plays havoc. do`s the anti virus programs really work , or are they just reallly hyped up from the magazines. freeview one Jun 26, 2002, 01:14 PM YER I GOT THE SAME EMAIL AGES AGO THE WORM VIRUS WHEN OPENED SEND IT TO ALL THE PEOPLE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK AT IF YOUR USEING OUTLOOK I THINK THERES A PATCH TO STOP THIS SORT OF THING pwet Jun 26, 2002, 01:30 PM looks like a virus m8, try what i've be advised send it sraight back to its originator! CdrBackupWorld Jun 26, 2002, 01:55 PM I got alot of those worm viruses, they just come as blank emails... but i dont really care about them as i dont put anybody in my address book so it cant really do anything. I think these days the virus is getting more common as its circulating around the same ppl, so i would recommnet to all ppl to delete all their addresses in outlook then the worm will just stop or become very uncommon. Kepp ur mail addys in text file or something. emmandsi Jun 26, 2002, 02:02 PM Its about time Norton and the like stopped making these viruses to help sell their software so rrysuspicious minded me only other thing i can it could of been from a **** site for that much KB was maybe a dialler blablah65@hotmail.com PIGGYJIBBLEFISH Jun 26, 2002, 02:08 PM The klez virus does send itself out randomly without the senders knowlege...it's still doing the rounds and if this is a variant of that virus, make sure you delete it without opening it. If you try to send it back to get someone back, the damn thing will only keep coming back to you as you will be in the address book of the person you sent it to...Just delete any suspect mail as there are loads around at the moment. If you help it spread, you will only see it again at some point! supfly51 Jun 26, 2002, 03:59 PM It is a virus m8 Had one exactly the same in work with a different bint picture. Trouble is this tommy is probably innocent as the people we received our virus off are an architects office they then sent another mail warning people of the virus in their system. CdrBackupWorld Jun 26, 2002, 04:07 PM Iam not at all at risk, i knew this was a virus just when i recieved it even though i havent seen it before, its the size its always 126-127kb or around about there. and the subject is something funny that hasnt the slightest to do with anything ur expecting, for example the one that supposidly came from "dvdzuk" the subject was " Language" now what the hell is that supposed to mean? so u know its a virus cos of this and the size. england4eva Jun 26, 2002, 04:17 PM ********members.msn.com/Tommy1979@hotmail.com theres the profile of the person that sent u the email i always check peoples profiles when i get strange emails!! Hav u deleted them emails? It could jus b a chain mail every email I get i open it I did get an email the other day it was over 100kb called 'lets be frendz' and it was blank but I found out that the person that sent me the email was actually a girl!! And didn't no she even sent me an email maggot Jun 26, 2002, 04:22 PM the one i keep getting is file name goldfish.wav virus name w32.yahaf@mm anyone know or this b......d or if i will spred in a email blobndaz Jun 26, 2002, 04:47 PM I use ZONE ALARM PRO it brillant the amout of times my pc is get well trying to hack it is unbalible yes it scans all emails scans my pc every 15 mins good bit of kit bigjonnyauk Jun 26, 2002, 04:49 PM it must be someone on this board as i have only just been put back on net and set up everything first site i came to was here after i had left 2 mins later i had a message on my firewall to say my comp had been scanned then i get the same 2 emails as cdr backup ???????????? CdrBackupWorld Jun 26, 2002, 04:57 PM dont know that one maggot, must be very rare, none of the antivirus progs have it in their records. HorRorFreAk Jun 26, 2002, 05:12 PM I recieved a v.wierd 'virus' in my Hotmail inbox. It musta been from someone either on this board or (the board where all the old mods went), as I only used my hotmail addy for trading... Anyways, this 'virus' was a script sent in an email with no from address and no subject. It came in at 0k so I thought it was safe on to delete it (I use OE5 for all my mail BTW with Norton pre-scanning ALL my mail), so I did the usual, didn't open it just highlighted and hit delete... BIG mistake! This 'undetecable' script/virus-whatever, deleted the main *.dbx/*.ods file for OE, meaning OE would crash on opening and cause all sorts of invlaid page faults etc etc... and the only solution was to manually delete the registry entry: "convert to dbx" so when I reboot OE it would create a new one, meaning I lost my entire mailbox!!!!!!!! So be on the lookout folks... bluemoonbaz Jun 26, 2002, 05:41 PM Originally posted by CdrBackupWorld I got an email in my hotmail inbox from Tommy1979 "look, my beutiful girlfreind" its 126k and i havent opened it...is it a known virus?
