<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Dear Cecil</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial> Yes with all the ways the new virus's
are working it is possible for many things to happen. Including a post to
this or any list you are a member of with a virus you did not send just because
the faked headers are good enough that the lists will let it
through.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial> Virus's have been sending mail to admin,
system ISP addresses, self to self, mail daemon, and so many more, there is a
website that shows most all the items about this and how many places they came
from. Yes website can pack a virus or Trojans, some are deliberate, some
are uploaded by people who write websites and surf the web ( w/o) an antivirus
prg and upload the virus to their website with out knowing they are infecting
every one because they think they cant get any virus or worms. Some virus
and worms do not need attachments and some have been said to pass your AV or
even disable it. SO plain text e-mails are safer, but some people like the
things they can do in HTML and like to use that.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial> SO far since 1997 I have not had
a virus, but I have my system set so most known virus's cant run on
it. I have had over 200 virus attempts hit the McAffee that my ISP
runs and I wish they would give us the option to delete more than one at a time
<sigh> On this address there is no ISP protection, just what I have set up
on this end and its pretty tight save for security at medium, high almost drove
me nuts <grin></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial> On my main address they even screen the
message content and only zips get through, if I dont know who sent them, they
get trashed too. Some one ought to stake out those virus people to the red
ants in the hot sum with a melting Hershey bar on them < evil
grin></FONT></DIV>

<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></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
