I have received email from Nels and from David Beach(tsection@train.sim.com) which didn't contain any text but an attachment. The attachments are not visible in hotmail.Is there a virus on the loose at train-sim.com? I hope it will not spread to file library.Enocell
I don't think it is here, but rather the virus uses email addresses and adds them to the from address. Someone who frequents here has the virus. I've been getting these a lot lately.David Klemm Illinois Central Route Illinois and St Louis Divisions Ver 0.8 uploaded Decatur IL 51% done, off playing with trains and doing research for the next update!
I'm getting lots (and lots and lots) of these. The emails are not coming from the person they say they are coming from. Frequently I get these that claim to have come from me even! Definitely a lot of this virus going around.
As I have said before:I HATE people who spoil the internet for others. It gets me really angry.Anyway, what do you mean, it does not show up in hotmail? I have had an email which had some reference to this virus. IN THE BIN IT WENT!! It didn't seem to have an attachment, as I can remember it didn't have an attachment, so do you mean, in hotmail it does not have the attachment? I know that Hotmail uses a virus utility to scan attachments.Cheers, Phil http://trainsimming.tripod.com
What I do is to BIN all emails where I don't have an idea who sent them - indications being goofy sender addresses or nonsensical subject lines. I never open any of these messages either. Apart from that I have disabled the preview pane in order to prevent a script to be run this way, and I also have Norton AntiVirus 2002 running constantly. A few days ago my father received an infected email on his PC, but NAV caught it before it could do any harm.If any of those responsible for these nasty bu99ers should read this: BURN IN HELL, D*MN F*CKERS!!!!!

Thoes e-mails dont affect any 1 siging in to hotmail. its only if u use outlook express or some other non browser program to check e-mails, my norton anti-virus catches it every day, i have at least 5 of them every day, sad eh. I get that box that pops up, dont quarntine it or w/e its called, press the skip button, then u can delete it. So it dosnt stay on your computer.Sami Nasr CEO of The Virtual North American Railroad Company www.vnarc.com saminasr@rogers.com (VNARC in need of a president and a web-master)
