One of you lot has a virus.
I've just received an email that's supposedly from Tim's gmail account - all it contained was a .zip that extracted to a .exe file.
It would appear to have come from a machine connected to the fastweb.it network.
Those with Macs or running Linux need not bother.... but anyone who's not properly protected their PC might want to be a little more careful.
Those using a decent antivirus and mail service should not be bothered either.
or someone has picked you and/or Tim out and trying to tell you something
lets see who else gets a similar email with an attachment
Is the reply address in your headers valid?
Yes.
If this is the address the virus was sent to, you have your reason.
*sigh*
I *know* that. I get enough spam to that addy.
I was merely pointing out that it would appear that *someone* who reads this group has a virus that's harvesting email addys from their address book and trying to spread the virus.
In fact, I know this is the case, 'cos Tim doesn't use his gmail addy on here.
The address in my headers is valid, but I don't have a virus email purporting to be from Tim.
Ooh, ooh! I've got a Mac, I get to feel all self-satisfied and smug at this point.
Indeed you do.
Are you getting a nice, warm, glowing feeling?
Yea, you're turning into Steve - are you happy now ;-) ?
What, a glowing feeling knowing that it wasn't me who sent you a virus? Hmm. Debateable.
(c;
I haven't either. I feel left out.
I do, when I post from google groups.
Ahhh, right.
So it could either be a simple harvesting from Usenet, or someone with a virus.
I think it's a virus, 'cos it doesn't appear to have gone to everyone.
yeah smug up to the point you realise macs are shit and have f*ck all software. i mean not even a good virus bah rubbish! mind you macs go wrong enough without virus help!
Stop being a f****it, Vamp. You have absolutely f*ck all experience of anything other than Windows Fisher Price XP.
He's still right though.
I use both. I choose to use windows more, the only thing I have that's better on the mac is the sequencer.
