Hey just to let everyone hear know. I got an E-mail spoof that jacked this website's E-mail. This spoofed E-mail had a virus on it's download. If you get one DO NOT OPEN IT! It said, "this is bad" and the return ended with "@casebook.org" so do not be fooled. You might be next, luckly for me I know a computer expert or I'd have a major computer problem myself no doubt. I just wanted to warn you all about this problem so you all can avoid it too. Thank you, Melissa McMahan

Thank you, Melissa.

I formatted my hard disk drive just a couple of weeks ago and I sure don't want to do it again in the near future.
Thanks for the warning.

All the best

If it's any comfort, I had a new experience a couple of days ago - an email purporting to come from my own address, with a virus attached!

"Trust no one" is definitely a good motto these days ...

I just wanted to make sure nobody got this, it's a bad one from what Joe told me. He's the computer expert I know. So anyway, I just hope everyone avoids it.

Hey all. I had two e-mails from Chris George and one from Stephen with attachments, and then I heard from Chris who said he was getting them from ME! This virus seems to be using names and e-mails from this site specifically. Be very careful!

Gotta love Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express. It's a script kiddie's wet dream.

Perhaps this might be of some assistance. As might this, this and most certainly this.

Basically someone on this site who has alot of people from the casebook in their address book has a mail virus.

It's absurd to divide people into good or bad.People are either charming or tedious.
