AYoKoNA Posted March 5, 2004 Posted March 5, 2004 I have had a HUGE increase in virus attachments being sent to my email address... Some of these emails are even emails with my domain name.... The attachments are automatically deleted along with the message (due to Road-Runner stopping it) Just wondering if others are receiving an increase as well due to these pesky hackers. For more information on Road Runner's virus filtering initiative, visit our Help & Member Services pages at http://help.rr.com, or the virus filtering information page directly at http://help.rr.com/faqs/e_mgsp.html. Gotta love RR! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LobbDogg Posted March 6, 2004 Posted March 6, 2004 I usually don't have a problem with viruses, but lately I've gotten 2 through email. Mind you I noticed them before hand and they were immidiately deleted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eva_Unit_0 Posted March 6, 2004 Posted March 6, 2004 Yeah, I've gotten 3 or 4 letters that I'm sure had viruses in them in just the past few days. They were the obvious "RE: The info you requested" types of mail, when I didn't request any info. <_< Not hard to pick those out, but yes, I have seen more viruses lately.

AYoKoNA Posted March 6, 2004 Posted March 6, 2004 This is just B.S. , I rarely get these.... But this is beyond ridiculous The one that would actually work on a NEWB (and is pretty impressive btw) would be the one in my PREVIEW PAN... Check out the From email and look at my email address... I was stunned. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthony Posted March 6, 2004 Posted March 6, 2004 i have never had any problem with email viruses.. or had any virus ever attack me.. i think they are intentionally attacking you.. or your just unlucky? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overclocker16 Posted March 6, 2004 Posted March 6, 2004 I received an email from my webhost (I use that for my email) saying I was sending viruses through the mail. Well low and behold I was somehow (I am guessing my brother) downloaded software which ended up puting 4 viruses on here.

Mr_Yuck Posted March 6, 2004 Posted March 6, 2004 it's been about a year since i got a virus in the email. I was getting Klez in my inbox once or twice a day for a while, then i went to the website that it was "originating" from, and told them that somehow i was getting viruses from that domain and they magically stopped Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, it happens. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
