Virus Warning

Walter Stettner · From: Vienna, Austria

Not just another virus warning! I received an undeliverable notification in my e-mail which told me that a message that I had sent to Walter Haynes was returned as it was virus infected - easy to spot for me as I didn't send out any messages to Walter.

The address mentioned was whaynes218 at aol.com (I didn't use the @ sign here, so nobody can try to click on the link - whicj I would not recommend!)

Here is the text of the message:

quote:
The original message was received at Sat, 11 Feb 2006 12:09:35 -0500 (EST)
from host46-129.birch.net [216.212.46.129]

*** ATTENTION ***

delivery. The address which was undeliverable is listed in the section

Please direct further questions regarding this message to your e-mail
administrator.

----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----

then the WHaynes address appears...

I wonder how they can specifically name e-mail addresses where the name of te addressee looks familiar!

Be Careful!

Kind Regards, Walter

Some viruses target your email and send out messages that you didnt do.
I would run an Antivirus scan and also an
anti spyware scan.
