| 254010 | 2004-07-21 02:10:00 | Since the 21st of last month I have received 52 emails containing one of the variants of this virus. Symantec threat assessment claims the distribution is low - maybe cause I'm the only one getting it! ;) It's not causing a problem as Norton stops it, it's just annoying. I was just wondering if anyone else is getting these viruses too? Although only my Japanese email address is getting it - not my Paradise one - so maybe ISPs here sell their email lists. har har. On a slighlty different tangent, got some junk mail on my phone the other day (cell phones here have regular email addresses - no SMS), and the sender's address was my phones address!! Man I was impressed, what software are they using to do that? (And no, someone didn't grab my phone and send to myself cause the people around me at the time couldn't have written that level of Japanese. Plus I know of other people who received the same things.) Dan |

All of my email addresses have now been compromised by customers and/or friends who didn't protect their PCs. :( Cheers Billy 8-{) |
