The Bouncer *WARNING*

[LARGELI]

hey bouncer, dude i got an email that said its from you, [email protected] and in the subject field it says "Hello" i am assumeing that this is not from you and is a virus because as of yesterday a whole lot of people in the bay area got hit with a virus that comes from people they know, co-workers etc. and the subject line reads "Hello".

in case anyone doesnt know about the latest virus going around, there is a virus going around and it can apear to come from someone you know and the subject line almost always reads "Hello" and it comes with an attatchment.

just looking out for everyone, and bouncer if you did in fact send me an email i apologize for wasteing board space and let me know so i read it instead of deleting it.

[RebelAngel]

Dont open any attachments until you've confirmed with the sender and he/she's resent it...

[Stonecold54]

[Beowulf]

[growth2]

[LARGELI]

the messed up thing about the virus is it says that its from someone you know so naturally you think its ok to open it.

at my company it just kept going in circles from employee to employee and it kept saying it was from another employee of my company.

[Bouncer]

ya, virus has been going around for months. i get email from all kinds of members. just delete them.

[Doom]

I get 30 or better a day, anything with an attachment, and a domain you dont know, just delete

as long as you dont open it, it isnt going to affect the puter
