<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I don't know why there are so many people out there who
are trying to destroy the internet, but they are there.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>My ISP is Cox Cable San Diego. As of April 1, 2004
they are filtering all e-mail in and out of @cox.net subscribers in this area
for virus attachments. When an incoming e-mail contains a virus attachment
it is killed, and a form message is sent to the addressee
stating</FONT> <FONT face=Arial>the sender and the virus name. I
receive several of these warnings every day. Some of them are warnings
that I am sending a virus attachment to me!!!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I am running McAfee's "Virus Scan" on this computer (from
day one), and about 1 hour ago I got a warning that a Trojan had been received
from a web page I accessed (a web page about Tom Cruise and "Born On The Fourth
Of July"); which I "cleaned/deleted" as fast as I could.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I don't know what, if any thing, that Trojan did, but I do
know this: As soon as I can, I will be using one computer for nothing but
e-mail, and another for internet surfing that will NOT have my address book (or
any e-mail software) on it!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I don't know how the creep people do it, but a couple of
years ago a porno link was posted to or-roots that seemed to have come from
me. Most of the garbage I receive, trapped by McAfee's "Spam Killer", has
bogus "from" IP's.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>If you have received any e-mail that "seems to have come
from me", with a virus attachment or spam... I didn't do it. It came from
someone who has me in their address book, and a "mass mail" worm/virus on their
computer.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Now; back on topic.</FONT></DIV>
