i think u really should of told the admins and left it off the board to be quite honest

[XtremeMaC]

may i ask why?

if ppl are going to be recieving virused emails i think ppl should know

and I didn't say they're coming from msfn or something. it might be coming from. I don't know.

anyways if anyone feels like deleting this post they will. and i wouldn't think hiding an information from users would be ethical.

so long...

has got a point Doggie ppl best to b told if there virus brewing

[XPerties]

You guys are funny.

Do any of you relize or understand this virus? You might read up on it and understand how it works.

Furthermore if you posted MY e-mail address in plain text on this board you would be in a world of hurt. If your going to post it, at LEAST post it as person [@] domain.com.

If someone send you mail with virus inside, Mailscaner+ClamAV on server will clean up mail and you will get message that mail was infected with virus and what kind of virus.

Be sure that MSFN Mail server is full protected against viruses, trojans etc.

Forward some of those mails to me. I will check into it.

now there are not so many users that have my email and neither should have.

Only one is enough. You will understand if you know how viruses works.

No, it doesn't mean you have virus.

[Aaron]

Its an e-mail informing you that someone tried to send you a virus. The inbuilt virus scanner on the mail server caught it and removed it before sending the rest of the email to you.

Also like Xperties says, don't paste full email addresses on here, spam harvesters can pick them up easily, so its not a very nice thing to do.

[Doggie]

ugh, all i said is would of been better to tell them instead of making ppl think who have msfn emails "oh s*** i going to get viruses" end comment

[XtremeMaC]

hey badger ok thanks I was wondering why ppl put their email separetly

sorry for not being able to clear about the subject. I was worried because not so many ppl know my msfn email and i didn't feel like bugging the admin's with a pm.

problem solved sorry for the pain that i caused...

[gosh]

just do like i do and disable email, it's all good.
