gamehead200 Posted March 25, 2003 Posted March 25, 2003 Geez, for the past 2 months, all I've been receiving is the YAHA.K worm...Does anyone know why this worm is still around? I thought they had gotten rid of it....Anyway, at least my virus scan is picking it up...
sedative Posted March 25, 2003 Posted March 25, 2003 Does anyone know why this worm is still around?Because idiots open up strange attachments.
Doggie Posted March 25, 2003 Posted March 25, 2003 well.. try and find the exact source of whos sending you the file(s).. more often then not its the same person.. so if you find that out, block there email
gamehead200 Posted March 25, 2003 Author Posted March 25, 2003 I have been blocking their email, but it keeps coming from more than one person...
ThA_FiLeR Posted March 25, 2003 Posted March 25, 2003 Here's a lesson for the kids @ msfnIf you get an email from someone you do not know, and it includes a strange attachment, don't think its any good, or that its gonna make you rich.. Even if its from someone you know, it could be a virus from there computer (doh!).. Only open it up after you asked the person what it is or if they notified you before sending it..This should freshen the minds of allot of the younger people @ MSFN..I know you guys are looking forward to "Technical Information for Newbees Part II", it's coming soon..lol..
gamehead200 Posted March 26, 2003 Author Posted March 26, 2003 I ain't opening them...I check the headers first ! And anyway, my virus scan picks up the virus!
SupaFly-TNT Posted March 26, 2003 Posted March 26, 2003 And make sure you turn off that dan preview pane in Outlook!! That is flat out the devil!SupaFly
Aaron Posted March 26, 2003 Posted March 26, 2003 Another suggestion is to view all emails as Plain Text only. This should prevent any scripts that can be embedded into HTML emails that opens attachments without you knowing.
MSNwar Posted March 26, 2003 Posted March 26, 2003 Send all the mail to your wife's account (or girlfriend) and open it there. If there are nor viruses move them to your machine.Tip. Send the bills to her machine!
gamehead200 Posted March 26, 2003 Author Posted March 26, 2003 I've been doing everything that you guys have told me (except MSNwar's advice)...Thanx!
zipp51 Posted March 26, 2003 Posted March 26, 2003 Get rid of all computers in your home,and never touch another one.Live a life where you don't have to worry about operating systems,e-mail attachments,playing the latest games on line and the rest of the stuff we discuss here at MSFN...............................................NoooooooooooooooooooooT
