virus infection

[Liz Lalor]

no no attachment but when I replied that was the problem and it was a
private NOT through minitus but said they had the info off minitus that does
make sense so I thought it was genuine and it didn't get sent and the
computer guy said that was the problem one and I shoudn't have answered it !

Yikes, worse and worse! You mean you can get a virus by answering an
e-mail? How does that work? I've never heard of that???!!!

it came by answering and the computer guy said they are rather clever so
$4,000.00 later and a new computer and my old one still not fixed and the
diagnostic program I run still out of action hence my reluctance to answer
private responses !!!! and I had Norton etc now I have VET who knows!! but I
sure know I suffer computer anxiety = I think it is a lack of control issue
and the remedy well UM

These virus engineers are becoming very devious. People who have contracted viruses have their email sendee's addresses harvested, and emails are sent out with those addresses, and familiar subject line headers. Last month, my daughter visited a site advertising free webspace, and got 29 files of viruses in just a couple hours online. When I called the server to complain, as ALL of our mail is filtered through Postini, she explained that some websites are infected with viruses that can download viruses onto your hardrive at the same time as you're downloading information you
actually want. When we discovered this situation, I immediately ran my virus program which detected the files, and quarantined them, but when I tried to delete them, it wouldn't allow me to. I was right on it, and knew the date that it occurred, so did a Windows Explorer advanced search by date (files changed, added, etc....) and deleted those, which then allowed me to delete the virus files. It seemed that "supporting/protecting" files were there to prevent one from deleting the virus. This worked, and after running Scandisk, and Defrag, was back in business, but it was a
real frustration... These virus authors should find them selves in major repercussions when discovered!
