DEATHMATCH ARENA - Pissed Off With Virus Emails

Post subject: Pissed Off With Virus Emails
For the past few weeks I have been getting emails which I know will likely <br /> contain a virus. <br /> They come in two parts. <br /> One part is a password protected .bmp file for which the password is provided. <br /> The other could be either a .doc, .cpl or .hta file. <br /> Downloading and opening will launch whatever shit is in these things. <br /> I am not STUPID enough to open them or download them. <br /> Some of these were coming from a Poser artist's site under the webmaster's <br /> email address. I contacted this person and they assured me that they were not <br /> sending emails out. <br /> <br /> Do not open any mail from : <br /> <br /> <!-- no smilies start --><script type="text/javascript"> <!-- document.write(' </script><noscript>Mistress [at] digitalvixxen [dot] net</noscript><!-- no smilies end --> <br /> <!-- no smilies start --><script type="text/javascript"> <!-- document.write(' </script><noscript>manoadresasyera [at] yahoo [dot] com</noscript><!-- no smilies end --> <br /> <!-- no smilies start --><script type="text/javascript"> <!-- document.write(' </script><noscript>toonnet [at] aol [dot] com</noscript><!-- no smilies end --> <br /> The emails always come as Re:Forums, Re:Message Reply, Re:Hello and other <br /> nonsense. <br /> <br /> There have been several other names as well with similar content. <br /> What disturbs me about this most is that these started almost immediately after I <br /> posted an image to PoserPros and Renderosity. <br /> <br /> When I check my email and find suspicious content in the Inbox and Bulk Mail, <br /> I find this shit at least two or three times a day, sometimes more...

<img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/mad.gif" alt="" /> Same here, I received a total of three virus-emails and said it to all of you. Anyway Den, you can see the REAL sender only extracting the full header and submitting it to a service like Spamcop (www.spamcop.net). The virus simply bring an address from outlook express and use it. I received the virus-emails from ... me or Posy so I'm sure that one of you has the virus on the PC...

I don't have any type of virus on either of my PC's. <br /> Your email address or Posy's isn't even in my address book. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/icon_redface.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/icon_redface.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> When I sent you something, last year I think, I did not add you to my address book list. <br /> (Shame on me... <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/icon_redface.gif" alt="" /> ) <br /> <br /> So...I know that any of the emails virus' did not originate with me.

I'm not saying that you sent the virus Den, it's someone that has my address in his address book, or, the address of the webmaster of the other sites, in your case. Someone with my address in his address book sent a virus with my name as the sender. The only way to see who really sent the email is extrating his ip address fron the header, and contacting his internet provider. <br /> <br /> No problem Den, I've not your email address too, but I've your home address, your telephone number, your credit card numbers and some hot photos <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Tormentor said : <br /> No problem Den, I've not your email address too, but I've your home address, your telephone number, your credit card numbers and some hot photos ... <br /> <br /> Whew ! <br /> Boy am I glad that you don't have any important things to post on the Internet. <br /> I would have been really, really, really worried if I was in your email address book... <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_shifty.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> All those other things that you mentioned are nothing... everyone already has all that info... <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_shifty.gif" alt="" />

My work email address gets about fourty to fifty virus emails each day and growing. Monday mornings are the best with the whole weekend of back emails. <br /> <br /> I deal with so many people and most of them are too stupid, or to lazy, to do anything about virus protection. I just set Norton to auto delete anything suspicious and go from there. <br /> <br /> Occasionally it gets rid of something not infected, but I look at it the same as a missed phone call... If it's important they'll call again <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I get them on a constant basis too. Its usually either a Netsky variation or a version of the Bagle virus. I use a mail scanner on a server to remove anything that looks suspicious so by the time I actually get any E-mails they are clean. I then start to trouble shoot by the IP of the mail server that originally sent the E-mail to see just exacty who it is that is infected.
