Great report H:cowboy:W... out-standing activity by the members at large... and it looks like one of myself's in a former time-life-line :lol: has gotten to stomp someone [finally] :lol:

Man I just finished downloading the latest Microsoft Critical Patches... `did not see a newer update than the 20th for NAV :dunno:

I went to my ISP server, and checked my mail before I downloaded it, and there were fifty, count 'em 5 0 emails that were virus packed.... :eek:

However, my ISP had gotten out in front of the deluge, by putting them all, in my "filtered-mail" box. So, out of 100 spam-mails, at LEAST 50 of them carried nasty payloads... and I had great pleasure in deleting the buggers:xpopworm:

I was typing an email in Outlook Office XP yesterday, when my email client did an auto download [as I have set it to do] and bam' right in the middle of typing NAV stopped me and said it had just killed a nasty trying to attach itself to my current email.... :nod:

So I made sure I had the 20 August NAV DEF set, and scanned my email [machine(s) `course I only have two P2-400's] all clean.

I read today's WOW report [office ezine put out by Woody] and he described exactly everything that I have seen and done so far, in order to protect my, err, two daleks....

So if you have not done so, and you are reading this, AND you use win9x to winXP, grab the updates, and grab your AV's newest Def-Set... that way you will be empowered to continue to be enabled to crunch seti-woots, and read my ramblings :D ;)

I personally use Mailwasher - it allows you to identify the source of the virus-infected email, and send it straight back from whence it came!

Of course, this could be interpreted as continuing the damage by returning the same virus to its source, but I only ever send it back to known spam sources. :p All others I simply delete in situ.

:xpopworm: See the thread I just started, entitled:

...a little off topic... the web is being slowed to a crawl :dunno:
