Klipschfoot Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 ________ Dear user of e-mail server "(MypersonalURLname).com", Our main mailing server will be temporary unavaible for next two days, to continue receiving mail in these days you have to configure our free auto-forwarding service. Further details can be obtained from attached file. For security purposes the attached file is password protected. Password is "53164". Best wishes, The (MypersonalURLname).com team http://www.(MypersonalURLname).com (icon of attached file)Norton AntiVirus Deleted132.txt _________ If you substitute "MypersonalURLname" with the name of any URL (in this case MY OWN URL name) this would look like an email from the IT guy in any company to all users with an email account on my server. In fact, there are only four of us who have email accounts on my server and the URL is my own which resides at Webcom. Just thought you would like a heads up in case you get one of these within your company or personal email. DON'T follow the instructions of this kind of email! Most of us are smarter than to do so, but consider this a PSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebes Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Good advice and thanks for the heads up.For what it's worth I urge everybody to keep their antivirus up to snuff. Was attacked just last week by a new version of the blaster worm. Norton's caught it for me. If you're running broadband set Live Update by default. If you're on dialup like me update manually every couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
