Thank goodness for having Macs, my in-box has been getting hit with fairly large amounts of email carrying viral attachments, of course only affecting sad little recipients who own pc's. I read an article not long ago about this string of viruses, each getting snuffed by the big boys, only to find it has become stronger and increasingly contagious as time goes on. I forget the names associated with them, but the email addresses they are "sent" from are usually arranged in such a way that the recipient would recognize the sender address; or a common sender, of which I have received three or four, is from Microsoft technicial support, or that is it's disguise. I received a dozen or so this morning, all from colleges and universities in Oregon, my native state. I was of course curious as to why I was getting mail from places like Southern Oregon University and Oregon Health Sciences University, only to open it and find there was just an attachment, usually .pif, .vbs, .bat, .exe. It seems as though the virus becomes familiar with any email sent, or received and then bases its sender information on each individual, or perhaps it is just a coincidence I am receiving mail from my native state colleges. From what I understand, I am one of the unlucky ones who have my e-mail address located on someones zombie-pc which is infected. This virus also is known for taking the name of the person it is being sent to and then using it as the sender name to different recipients, so, some of you may one day receive an email from me containing a virus. If you can't read it, or if it has an attachment that is not recongnizable by a mac, it is not from me.
