Hello, just giving a friendly warning... PLEASE READ!!
I recieved an e-mail from tbird8787 ( not actually sent by him, but by a virus ) with a virus attachment ( i believe that he had added my e-mail to an address book when he saw it on the boards ) ...
It is the Klez virus which distributes itself to other people on address books so everyone on this board may have recieved one.
It will send either a blank e-mail or a small message and have 3 attachments. One a blank text attachment, a picture of some sort, and an executional file. DO NOT OPEN ANY OF THEM.

If you have opened the executional file, then you have already been infected, the only symptoms you may notice is your computer running verrrrry slowly...
If this is so, go to mcafee.com and download the shareware version of their virus scanner (search around the pages). Symantec's Norton antivirus will not work, as the virus seeks out it's files and infects them as soon as it can.

For more info on this virus, go to http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_99455.htm

Thanks for your time,
Brian Kramer

Quick addition...
In some mail clients (outlook express etc.) you don't even have to open the attachment to recieve the virus... a nasty lil bugger..

Well, I haven't sent any emails to the above or added any addresses to my book and I checked my address book and yours is not in it. I too have been receiving emails that were supposedly sent by Pete (but I know he didn't send them) that were infected with a virus. I think I have received a total of about four already but I just delete them.

Well, what happens, is the virus actually goes through cookies and stored pages (temp internet files, etc) and pulls out ANY e-mail addresses it finds ([email protected]) and sends an e-mail to it...
The car place shiftless, is most likely not the place this thing originated, they probably just got infected...
