E-mail worm or mother-in-law worm
According to my mother-in-law (we could stop there), she states that
everytime I send her an e-mail from my account (MS Express), her computer and e-mail (MSN) locks up, forcing a hard restart. However, if my wife e-mails her from a different computer in the house (LAN) with the same account but different username, there are no problems. What do you all think? Does she just not want to talk to me or is this a virus, worm, or something? Thanks for any advice you can give. |

Your wife can't be using the same account if she's on a different computer using a different username. She may be using the same internet connection, but she can't be using the same account if the user name is different. What e-mail program is MS Express? I've never heard of that. I think the problem is that you are trying to send her a message using a mail program that doesn't exiist. Seriously though, it your wife's separate account, from a different computer, allows her mail to be read, then the problem lies somewhere with your physical computer. Create an account for your wife on your computer, let her logon to it and send out an email. Can your mother-in-law read that? If not, then you've narrowed the problem down to your box. Virus scan the hell out of it, along with rooting out spyware/adware/malware and eradicating it. |
