hello everyone
Ihave been on the internet now for close to 8 years. During this time I have been very discreet about who I give my e-mail to. Through all these years there has only been two times that I have received a virus through e-mail and these were both from friend
s whose computer had been infected with a virus. Two days ago I made the mistake of posting my e-mail address in this newsgroup along with a problem I was having. Now today I have suddenly received FOUR e-mails so far that contained the w32.swen virus with
them. Two of these were about a microsoft security update with microsoft logo on them-which I knew right away were viruses and the other two were about some fictitious undeliverable e-mails. THis is totally disgusting that you can't post an e-mail address
here because evidently certain individuals are targeting E-mail addresses they get from newsgoups like this to send viruses to. I WOULD STRONGLY URGE THAT YOU DO NOT POST YOUR E-MAIL IN THESE NEWSGROUPS. If you do you best make sure that your virus progra
m is up to date and checks your email.
Totally disgusted
