191506 2003-11-13 04:31:00 yes it's a sucker trap

microsoft DONT email folks with security warnings/patches.........if your system is set up correctly it will automatically notify you of new available MS downloads.........

191507 2003-11-13 04:33:00 Welcome to the club beetle. Just veiwing the e-mail could infect your system. No its probably not new. Btw how did you get on with Open Office? mark.p (383)
191508 2003-11-13 04:34:00 did a little digging and had a look through mailwasher, and apparently Xtra spam /virus alerted it to say it had an atachment which the WORM / SWEN virus was detected and deleted, so that means Xtra is on the job....

so its deleted, and blacklisted, all good.

the header sorta gives it away but the email addy that its using should be a big hint for all people (i hope)

191509 2003-11-13 04:40:00 just a note here i did not open it just going by what mailwasher info told me .

and aw shucks guys, :8} thanxs for looking out for me .

not that id want a virus of corse but one does wonder when people talk about the amount of spam they get and i get nowhere near as much as most and i have a email addy on the net constantly for work, which makes me think id get more???
