Hi Anthony,
Thank you for the welcome!
I have a lot to say tonight, so I hope you have time to read it
all.
First let me start with using the right spam filter, the one I use
will capture the email and put it in a spam folder on the server
until I check it, and if it is from someone I know; I have the option
to rescue it.
I will get a message like this one:
The message was blocked.
The message contains invisble text.
Or it will block it if the header information is not in order, or looks
like it might be faked.
I get the option to report it to the proper authorities right from there
if I don't know who sent it or if it is a scam email.
I just left it set to default, and it works well for me.
Have you seen the latest on the Virus advisory?
This virous has been upgraded from low to high.
w32/ircbot.worm!m05-039
is a high risk worm. You can be infected simply by going
online. Once infected, your system may restart continuously.
It was thought to be a low risk worm for home users last week,
but now it has some extras added onto it.
Make sure your virus software is up to date!
I just recently bought a external hard drive to backup my computer just in case.
=================================
Now about Scams, there seems to be a new one everyday.
The latest one in my area is that someone is posing as a
court clerk and calling people on the phone to obtain their
information by telling them they were supposed to report for
jury duty in federal court. Information about this is posted at
www.wreg.com - 3 on your side news in Memphis Tn.
Along with the latest on the police scandal that they are having
in that city.
Even the Deputy Chief is caught up in a scam in that city, And may
go to jail.
What do you think is causing all the desperation for getting money
now adays? Is it the oil? People can't afford to drive to work so they
try to offset their income anyway they can.
When was the last time you seen it this bad?
Be Safe- JP
