Just wanted to mention that yahoo mail (in its infinte wisdom) considers notifications from this list as spam and dumps them in the bulkmail folder.

Just reason #41.250 of why people are not "yahoo-ing" as much as they used to about Yahoo. :rofl:

why not just mark those message as "not span" and have Yahoo send them to your regular inbox?

Yahoo is sending me a lot of weird things that go into bulk mail and I have no idea what they are. Big messages with no content. I tend to delete them. Something is up...

I get those from my mom sometimes. It's a weird 'lookOut Express versus AOL' thing. I must get myself a decent mail client :(

BEWARE.

I have received several of those long emails at both of my web based addresses, speaking with a friend who is in the know with computers he said they would have been viruses, but were unable to be opened through the web based free email service I use. Apparently programs like Outlook are vulnerable to this sort of attack, just as well I don't give out my ISP based email address.

I suspect it is the KLEEZ-E worm--I keep getting messages, which I don't open, with near pseudonyms from, supposedly, some members of this board--"firefoxheels", postcode, jeff, and a few others. Reason I suspect them is that they are all somewhere between 127K and 134K, and have enticing subjects. If they are for real(!), send me something in the 5-15K region of length. The worm is known to take familiar, weighted-by-use random names and then add random subjects of a list of ~30, and send it as an e-mail from an infected host. The total length is supposed to be around 120+K in length. According to the Kaspersky anti-virus web site, anyway...

the most common one being sent around at the moment is the KLEEZ-H. I get this sent to me about 3 times a week, which is rather annoying that someone out there has nothing to do with their time and computer than to waste others time with a virus.
Most antivirus programs will detect, but not all will clean the infection. Simplest way to deal with it in the first place is not open the attachment, whether you know the person or not. If it doesn't come as a picture format file, then delete it. Certainly, no-one from this forum will send you a program or other executable file.

[b]If in doubt, chuck it out!

You can get a free virus scan of your system.

Go to www.housecall.nl

If you are not sure if your virus scanner is working right you can scan your pc online. I think it worked pretty fine. Some times if I wonder if my Norman antivirus scan is working properly I scan via the Internet to be sure

you can get a free antivirus package from www.grisoft.com
AVG is completely free and updates itself when connected to the net, so you'll always be on top of the latest viruses.
