Somebody in the FS community doesn't scan their computer for viruses/worms, or they don't keep their virus software updated :-roll. I keep getting messages from various flightsim people, and the attachment always has the Bagel/Beagle I-worm :(Please scan your PC for viruses!The Flightsim community is always there to help:http://www.atomic-album.com/showPic.php/23664/kickass.gif

It may not be them. Many viruses take a name out of your own address book and then claim to be from them.I got an e-mail claiming to be from someone and I know they scan regularly. Viruses are getting smarter to hide their identity and look like they are coming from someone you know, when in fact they aren't.I use webmail for that very purpose.

>It may not be them. Many viruses take a name out of your own>address book and then claim to be from them.Yup. I had a guy INSIST that I was the source of his virus problems. Quite impossible, as I read my email using a text based program on a UNIX system.. it never touches a machine capable of harbouring viruses.Dan
