Look out for the netsky.z virus. I have already received 3 copies.

:D I receive about 10 netsky, 5 beagle and one or two sasser -- daily :D
the funniest part is that some of them come from an email address that belongs to somebody I *know*... but it's obviously not their fault... the viruses harvest email addresses in address books and send themselves randomly with forged From: addresses from these.
One week a certain meister @ telus.net was keeping sending me 4 or 5 viruses a day. It's botmeister's address! (but it's not him) ;)
And another day I got a virus from pm@racc-ai.com delivered to pm@bots-united.com, rofl :D

I have just received some "message undeliverable" e-mails in my old weimz2001@yahoo.co.kr email box, but I haven't been using that address for quite a long time :)

Re: netsky.z
 
Yup, I never used Outlook, my mail addy isn't published everywhere, my mail provider is multiple test winner and has good protection, and my OS is Win98 - all in all, a good package. I don't get any spam, and most viruses nowadayd only attack Win2k/XP. :)

Re: netsky.z
 
Yes that's one way of avoiding viruses.

Use an ancient OS :D

Re: netsky.z
 
So what - as long as it works? As long as I could run CS on it, I would run an ancient Babylonian OS on my PC... :D Provided I wouldn't have to chisel all my texts into stone blocks, of course. But that's about the only objection I have. ;)

Aaww didn't mean to bash yr system.
It was mere a comment on using win98 cos of the viruses. :)
While yr totaly not save most viruses work on any win32 os and well yes true most for outlook.

Re: netsky.z
 
Don't worry, Shrike. I didn't understand your comment in any negative way. :) Besides, you could "bash" Win98 as much as you want - I would bash with you, because it sure has plenty of weaknesses and disadvantages (who would know that better than me?). Funny enough that one of its its few advantages (being "protected" against many viruses) springs from the mere fact that it's just... well, as you said, "ancient" now. There's some nice irony in M$ products beginning to show their positive sides when they are getting obsolete... 9_9
Hehe, I agree: "Downgrading" to Win98 just because of viruses would indeed be a strange approach... why not WfW 3.11, then? :D Peace!
