  • ok so whose got a virus

    would any of you windoze users that might have me in your email address book check you computer for viruses.

    someone somewhere has, and that machine has been sending out spam with the sender address spoofed as if its from me for about 48 hours now, getting around 300 an hour bouncing back to me and the novelty has worn off completely
    ʎɐqǝ uo pɹɐoqʎǝʞ ɐ ʎnq ı ǝɯıʇ ʇsɐן ǝɥʇ sı sıɥʇ.

    Thought for the day:
    Some people are like slinkies - not really good for anything but bring a smile to your face when thrown down the stairs

    Converting an MFV Fifie trawler type thing.

          Its quite possible that you have got a trojan, it's stole your password for your email account and is using it to send emails from your account. Try changing your password and see if it stops

            hardly - I use a mac. there hasn't been a recognised and confirmed mac os email trojan in the wild since 1997!

            I did as a matter of course change it anyway, and even with everything on the network turned off it persists. starting to slow down a little now thank feck, trojans like this usually move on after a few days and uses some other poor sods address

            how it has affected my business remains to be seen
