A virus probably got someones contact list and is automatically sending crap out...it just keeps repeating. I would suggest not opening any emails with attatchments until WWS comes and okays it.

i got an email from weeweeslap@coastercrazy.com too that said something simmilar. it basically said "your message will never bee seen and this is entirely confidential" but i never sent anything to him and it was an automated responce. i don;t know if it had a virus or not, but its still weird.

well i also got one from wws but the thing is the time is that it is from the future??? its 9:36 here but it says i got it at 11 somtin

Nothing yet, knock on wood.

Huh!? How did my Gmail account send an email to you!? hiimmisterdude@yahoo.com isn't even on my contacts list, and I've never recieved an email from you [confused]

Oh...I know what happened. Well, not sure what happened really, but I know how you got the emails.

this is the type pf virus that if one user gets it, that it automatically sends itself out to everyone in that users e-mail list with usernames from that e-mail list so some other user got it who has my e-mail address in his address book as well has intaminfan's and yours. Simple as that, get a virus scanner to scan all incoming mails, I have one and I get those e-mails each and every day [:(] you can add a rule to your mail client to automatically reject any e-mail with an attachment of scr, exe, pif and so on.

I got a mail to, some very weird symbols and stuff

There's your culprit, someone infected with that and sending out to everyone on their e-mail list infecting others and sending itself to others as well etc.

... hence why the address I use to sign up for these sites is g-mail and they have a nice ability of weeding out ALL spam crap. I never save contacts either there - just to be sure.

Gee, it is almost like I am a network administrator and am smarter than the 15 year old who developed this piddly chain virus ...

i haven't had virussen on my account, thanks for the warning, i'll keep an eye on the mail...

well i learned that its a worm I suggest all people who got one of these scan there comp
edit: just wondering though how did my yahoo account get the email and my weeweeslap mail

Because the name was the same, both of your accounts are hiimisterdude.

but i didnt get it on my gmail account and my hotmail account and they have the same name

Thats probably because Gmail can sort out spam. Hotmail I think has a virus blocker, not sure, but if so that would probably be why you didn't get that email.

Um, so how do you really know you have a virus on your computer. Also, I haven't sen any mails from WWE lately, will I be expecting one? If so, what should I look for in this E-mail to know if it is a virus? Will it be sent to my contacts too if it reaches my E-mail?

Thanks for the heads up!

You will know that an email has a worm when you get emails that have non-sense attatchments. Just delete them.
The virus doesn't infect your contact, it just takes the adresses out of it and sends itself to them.
To know if you have a virus or not, you need a virus scanner.
