!!VIRUS ELKERN.C3 spreading from boardmembers!!
« on: June 24, 2002, 12:05:43 pm »
I got it just some minutes ago from tom61 and saint.
Hey guys, you do a perfect job here :D - but why can't you install just some good virusscan-software on your computers?  :o :o :o
I even got a free one who recognize it. Be more careful in the future!  :)
And everyone else, delete these mails with the .pif / .bat or anything else on them!

Yeah I got it too... If you read the message source you'll see it came from the .es TLD. OR Spain. If you go into I.E. and in Tools, Message Rules, Blocked Senders List....  And add .es that should slow that one down. I had to add .mx for one a while back too.

This is yet another virus that spoofs it's "From:" field with other email addresses from the victims address book. To protect yourself you can upgrade to I.E. 5.5 or 6 which will stop the attached virus from auto-opening.

You may also concider hiding your email address in your profile which can be accessed by clicking "Profile" at the top of this page.

Yep, sorry about that, I didn't investigated it much more as I get pretty used to these address-book viruses, and usually just delete them.

As lame as all these virus-programmers are (if they wouldn't they would build a nice emulator or at least a cool frontend! My opinion! 8) ) - at least they are creative, just got a mail fromt virtual Saint where he introduced me his new selfmade game, and I'm the first player! Whee, isnt't that nice! ;D

Now we've got the H1N1 to worry about.

Saint, keep that one to yourself, too!

Unfortunately I caught the diarrhea fingers virus from Chadtower a few months ago.  I do try my best to keep it in check but my extended apologies to the board.   :-[

Ask MrC for a copy of his special pictures collection.  That'll keep you busy for a while... :burgerking:

That's a brown runny lie.  I did not have any type of relations with that pinballjim.
