================================================ Subject: Re: virus alert!!!!!!!!! From: "Lee Reed" To: Date: Wed 25 Jul 2001 01:09:31 -0400 ================================================ i've noticed every once in a while, i'll get an email thru the list that has the original email as an attachment (i recall this happening most often from a compuserve account, if that has anything to do with it)...another question, tho, scott...i did not open the supposed attachment, but did open the email...so if they used java scripting, then i could still be infected, right? altho, as i said before, i did the virus scan which came up empty, but theoretically speaking...just curious, as this is a new one on me--the 'puter illiterate one... Lee ----Original Message Follows---- From: ]\\[][G}{T§TÖ®]v[ No... Lee asked how a virus can be passed through a list that doesn't accept attachments... I was explaining that someone can use JavaScripting to pass a virus through the list, like when the KAK worm went through a couple months ago (although I'm starting to wonder if attachments are really blocked, since I had someone send an attached mail through the other day... it was a reply to a mail, but the original was attached as a separate mail... found it odd but thought nothing more of it). I'm thinking that *maybe* someone is slipping like on the old list, and allowing some attachments to sneak through? I recall they were turned off on the listserve list too, but we still managed to have our massive picture trading week... wonder if the same thing is happening. Might put it to the test a little later. ¤]\[][G}{T§TÖ®]v[¤ (who's still surprised he got his Java Signature to go through) _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp To unsubscribe or change your preferences for the Creed-Discuss list, visit: http://www.winduplist.com/ls/discuss/form.asp
