Please virus scan.

I keep getting emails from Ian Fry who is a member on this forum. The email is addressed to dozens of people I know including moonlight and andrews. Someone in here has a virus which is sending these emails.

Can you all please scan your machines now and do it at least monthly.

I noticed that there is a mount for sale by Ian Fry in the IIS classifieds.
Maybe clicking on that post activates the virus.

Not necessarily. His email is probably being spoofed by a hacker, used to make the email look genuine.

I have received that email a number of times...it turns up in my ' Junk ' folder .

I just ' delete it ' as it has emails forwarded to a lot of people....didn't like the look of it.

Thanks for the information.

Col....
