[Oscar]

ok Microsft I get it that you don't like me.

I just got two e-mails again, this time my host caught the virus and just delivered the text. Sucks.

Well, Microsoft likes me! I havn't gotten an e-mail from them yet

Now I read this, I too got that email. Good thing I didn't open the attached file yet. Email deleted!

I'm a life saver[:)]

Good thing I deleted it! I did get that E-mail and dumped it immediately! Thanx for the info, Intamin!

Gotta love MS for their hard work of sending viruses! Hats off to Mr Gates!

Stupid 'support@microsoft.com' sent me another virus! How are they 'support'?

whats up with microsoft n-e- wayz...what is their prob?

I havent got one an e-mail yet, but a few months ago, we got a bad viruse. It disabled norton and then started sprouting of other viruses! It got to the point to were it was eating away the hard drive! But my dad fixed. It sucked, I hate people who make viruses, there just miserble little sh***!!!

I'm fed up with Norton. If you have AntiVirus 2001, I suggest you update to 2002 or 03. My computer was running fine until one day it went ka-put. Everything was 95% slower. Everything worked except Norton. I knew something was fishy <>< (fish) [;)] Anyway, I called Norton to fix it and for every service call you make, it is $39.95. [}:)] So, I called them once and got rid of Norton through the internal part of the computer and then I called back and they wouldn't admit that they caused the virus. They make me sick!

[:(] I have McCaffee(can't spell it) Vshield, and I think it works great.

I'm a little worried too, about 3 weeks ago my norton subscription experied(virus definitions and stuff) and ever since my computer has gone really haywire. It's been shutting off by itself and turning on by itself. It's been giving some crazy errors. One today gave me my first ever BSOD on Xp pro!!!! I tried to take a snap shot of it but my digicam is so f'ed up that it came out all blurry to identify what it said. So yeah, I think Norton has something up their sleeve [;)]
WWS

That is peculiar because mine started doing that 2 days after my subscription was up...I think they insert viruses to make people buy more products...crazy [CENSORED]'s. [:(!]

my subscription expired too. do u have xp? i think i have a virus because it won't turn off normally, you have to go to switch users and tuff. also, when i turn it off by pressing the on button (that also turns it off if u hold it for 10 seconds), it does a disk check where it scans the computer.

[Oscar]

I have xp pro and do have problems shutting off, after my expiration of course. It takes now about 3 minutes to shut off. I have window blinds and now that has been going haywire on shut off where before it was just fine and have had the window blinds for a little over a year now with 0 errors occuring before. I would just go ahead and uninstall system works and av but I can guarantee within a few days my computer would be dead, I am constantly sent laced e-mails that NAV does catch. Hasn't let one slide thankfully, but after subs end, puter is funky, almost makes me want to buy one, but no $ for it. Maybe a reformatt, never done one and dunno what to do

I think I'm about to make back ups of NL, my tracks, Flash, Photoshop, and so on (Thank God for my CD burner). The reason for that is incase my computer gets hit by one.

[Oscar]

today I got 6 of these e-mails, all of them my virus scanner caught them and destroyed though. [}:)]
Weird though, it even sent it to the e-mail address that only 2 people know!

What'll happen if we reply it back, telling them that we dont want it?

If you replied back, wouldn't you have to open the email first?

the e-mail but not the attatchment. THe virus is within the attachment.
