156298 2003-06-30 03:50:00 I just received an email purporting to be from xtra services telling me the registration details for a new POP account for Wuppo. The TO: name was your real name.
Also, some attachments were deleted by the virus police. Very strange. PE_BUGBEAR.B-O was found in a file called xsend.bat.exe (the old extra extension trick, eh, which is why I turn on extensions on every PC I ever touch).

Same here. Stupid idea to turn them off in the first place in my opinion.

156301 2003-06-30 05:07:00 I hate it when that happens.
Thought it was junk, then recognised the name.
Resisted the temptation to try logging in to the Pop server mentioned.

Three.

I was so disappointed when I found out it was a virus and not Wuppo "dropping in" to say Hello. :-(

:p :D
