Some people need a life, they really do! :eek: Trying to disguise viruses through e-mail by making them look official.

For example, they always indicate that my mail has become undeliverable. When I receive an undeliverable message, the attachments (which is the message I send) are not blocked. Plus, the e-mail which was bounced back to me indicates who I was trying to send it to.

The virus producers have loss that one. I sent an e-mail to "user@domain.com" and got back a legitimate notice. :D

Just now I receive another e-mail, which OUtlook has blocked the "potentially dangerous attachment". It stated that I have visited illegal websites. Uhm, I don't think so. Plus with it being from the fake e-mail address of "abuse@gov.us" and not as official looking, the "terrorists" loss again.

However, I am about to change my e-mail address and see if I can avoid this garbage. :grr: :grr: Hopefully, the government will catch these yahoos someday. :roll: :wink:

I am sorry, but I just had to rant about this. :)

I hate it too. Scams run amok on the internet.

Hey Brian.. Just out of curiosity.. are you thinking the terrorists are behind some of these viruses? sort of like cyber attacks and stuff..?

It is possible! I am mentioning terrorism in a general sense. I don't know any other way to explain it.
