xper Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 I receive 10-20 mails every day with attached viruses but this one is kinda interesting.Screenshot
XPerties Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 there are two big ones going around to people I have seen. One is decribed as a screensaver and in the world of admin ( having access to a dedicated server) there is another called test.php which is giving people root access to any server you open it on. I got both in the last week.
Flash Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 They done that to make you think that it actually is a screensaver... I got a screen saver e-mail recently from my mate, i didnt open it, and i asked him, he had no idea, Noroton didnt pick it up either...

Aaron Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 Most of them show its from OSBetas.com as well, our close affiliates. But then, anyone can fake a 'from' address easily now.
MSNwar Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 Considering the tone of the message you may have a secret admirer there xper w00t Send it to me and I'll trace it back it for you this weekend.
sadatkarim Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 hmm....i dont get any mail like that..in fact..i dont get any spam at all..
ThA_FiLeR Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 I've just gotten rid off all my spaw, my email adress was getting known by many spam companies, this is how I fought it w/o any app:Each time I receive spam I:1. Reply to it with "PLEASE QUIT SENDING ME f***ING SPAM!!!!" or "PLEASE QUIT SENDING ME THIS GARBAGE, I DONT WANNA HEAR IT!!"2. I hit unsubscribe to all of em (many duplicated b4 they removed me)And for the last 3days I haven't been getting any
sadatkarim Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 hahha...i have never even gotten spam on my yahoo account...its that good! so i dont even have to curse them!! w00t
.PsychoMerc. Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 I use MSN 8 with advanced spam filtering™. So I get zero spam, occasionally something slips by, but for the most part, I'm in the clear. Isn't advertising/spam the same as telemarketing? If you reply and tell them not to email you back, then legally they can't email you for a year. Read up on it and save the emails, sue their pants off and stop working!
