Email to me

[khunsanuk]

Hi,

Just wondering if anybody has send me email lately to which I did not respond.

I have been getting a lot of blank email lately. Problem is I don't know if this is the result of a virus or some other problem.

All the email addresses have an _ as first character. With it they are not valid, without they work, yet I have not received any replies from the people I replied to.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Sanuk!

That funny email virus with the blank attachment which isn't blank may have something to do with it...

Hi,

Nah, I doubt it. I never open attachments from people I don't know. I most of the time don't even open attachments I did not ask for, even if I know the person sending it to me.

Furthermore, I use Eudora, which does not automatically open attachments.

Sanuk!

Delete those mails khun sanuk theres a vírus attack going on with mails that starts with an underscore _ . It contains a .pif file wich is a trojan for a virus called Bad trans something. If you are infected it can monitor your keystrokes and sniffs for passwprds e.t.c then send's them out to a hacker. If u dont ahave a virus scanner or not recently upgraded it I suggest you do that.I just helped my dad who was attack in exact the same way just a few days ago thats why I know. Just thought of inform you I know they have further info on symantecs homepage for example. Good luck!

You're probably receiving the following e-mail worm, Badtrans.

You can read up on it here:
