Hi Danie, I've been getting a number of emails from your addy with an attachment called Lesbian Pics or something like that.
You may want to run a virus scan.

I actually know about this one - Yahoo groups email addies have
somehow been caught up in this one... watch out also for subject
line "new graphics site" with attachment... it's the same
virus/spam/bad email. :)

It's a groups thing. Lots of members of yahoo groups are getting hit.

And the virus is actually at yahoogroups, not our computers (unless
you open the e-mails and get infected, but then the messages will go
directly to your personal contacts as well as any groups you have in
your contacts.)

I have to say that the people who create these viruses are geniuses!
I'm serious. Dan said that it isn't the easiest thing to build these
kinds of worms because you really have to know your way around the
operating systems, know where the weaknesses are and how to make the
worm adapt - learn - as it is passed. He frequents different
programming boards since he is a programmer and he has to learn how to
safeguard his work computers from these type of worms. It is well
known in the programming world that one way to bypass required
education is to build a successful worm or virus, get arrested for it
and get it known that you did it. Why? Because when you have paid
your fine or served your time someone is going to be waiting for you
with a job offer. Those that build the virus today are those that are
building virus protection tomorrow. There have even been a few cases
where companies have helped a programmer plead out and get a reduced
sentence and part of his "punishment" is having a job!
