Dear Conch-L'ers,
Sorry to use Conch-L for this warning, but I felt it important to pass
along this information for your computer safety.
Just briefly, if you receive an email from my worldwideconchology.com email
address ( [log in to unmask] ) with an attachment of any
kind, please delete it!
I just received an email with a .exe and .pif virus file attached --
ironically, the email has my email address as the sender and recipient with
the 128k size file attached that my anti-virus software picked up and
quarantined.
How the virus-mongers create virus-carrying emails using other people's
email addresses is beyond me. It's probably done with some type of
spidering software. So much for Web site software protection!
Again, delete only the [log in to unmask] emails that have
attachments, especially large ones. When I want someone to see a picture,
I will upload it to my Web site with a private URL for you to download. And
if I am sending an attached text file, I will let you know in advance.
Sorry again for this off-topic posting.
Rich
