Problem....I think

[Vortex]

I just got this e-mail subject "Fw : Virus with no cure" so I;m thinking I might not open it and I don't recognise the person's name who sent it. On the other hand, who would name a virus e-mail that if they wanted you to open it. I need to read it or something so I need a second opinion or two. HELP!

I guess your virus program doesn't scan your e-mail as you download it? Norton's Anti-Virus does that F.Y.I. Are you that friggin' curious? Just delete the damn thing!

well, you said you don't recognized who sent it; obviously, that means you don't trust openning it yourself.

so what you do is send it to a friend. when they see that you sent it (since they know and unforunately trust you ), they will open it since they aren't expecting something blatently malicious.
then you just have to figure out someway to ask them what it was.

Just post it to the PuF mailing list , er no that won't work, nobody reads those either.

Oops forgot to add some advice to that post. Just send it to me, seriously. Email address is down at the bottom of the post. I'll load it into a hex editor and tell you exactly what's there.

Heh, we received prettypark and happy99 too once. Damn stupid brother just opened them, was nothing real serious. I get a lot 'o mails like that. And they're always forwarded.

I'll open it when I get back to uni . Just got a warning about that PrettyPark thing anyway. How pleasant.
