Re: [guide-user] Attachments. WARNING !

Jan van Gijsen Nov 29, 2001

Jost,

This is good, thanks.

I opened the attachments on "Digest number 327" on tuesdayevening (WET). It took me two days to get rid of te ^&*$.
(my last virusscanner update was from before de launch off the 'Badtrans" virus, it infects kernel32.dll and couldn't be cleaned. After deleting it there is no way to startup windows)

I replied a mail to this group just after I got infected. ( nov 27, 20.54 WET) Hopefully it was clean and I believe so, but still a warning. After sending this message a received a series of messages from different "system anti-virus administrators" that I was spreading a virus. They had timestamps starting at 20.48. But they were all warnings about (very) old messages that were resended from the "sent-items" box.
The attachments keep changing names all the time, as i could tell from the different warnings, so do not open them. Delete the message ! (and go to the map deleted items and delete it ones again from here if this isn't done automatically) If you are running older versions of Windows (even ME without last updates) an attached mail-virus may become active even without opening it
And .. it's never to early to update your virusprotection software.

clear skies
Jan

Hi,

from now no attachments are allowed in this group.

Reason: More and more virus attachments are floating into the
mailboxes.

If you want to publish some binaries, post it on a webpage and give
the URL.

You can also post on yahoogroups into files at guide-user.

How to do this? Take a look at the help of yahoogroups.

Thank you

Jost Jahn
