Look out for someone named LaZahn...(please read all the way through) there was a big discussion a few nites ago; basically an almost all out verbal war because of her views and news regarding Proctor & Gamble. I posted a response to her that basically stated that there were probably a lot more people that have seen this thread, more so than the she realized and perhaps will never use Proctor & Gamble products ever again.
The long and the short of it is is that this lady emailed me and thanked me for helping her out. I emailed her back telling her it was no problem I hope that wouldn't stop her from posting.
I received an email attachment from her yesterday and there was a message...this message was written by someone that wasn't very schooled. I think anyone can recognize this if they have any clue of the English language and how grammer operates. Her style of writing was nothing like that of what she had written me before. I wrote her back stating that I couldn't download any email; I told her if the image was embedded it'll just open on it's own without me having to save it to disk...she sent it again the same way :confused3 Then,when I didn't open it, I never heard from her again. The file was kitty.jpg
I just received my computer back from being in the shop because of a virus, this was sent by a friend (or so the address had stated)..now, I trust this person and opened the email; no big deal, right? Wrong!....it said "corrupted file" for some reason, I knew right away something was wrong (good ol woman's instinct for ya). I emailed her back and said...Jamie, there's something going on with your email you just sent me...she said "I never sent you any email!" After I destroyed the file, another file was sent!
So, I knew right away, there was a trojan or worm of some kind attacking through emails...UNREAL...so, just be careful...even though you know someone, make sure your antivirus is up to date, mine was not. This was a new virus called Trans Bad...so...there ya go...Just be careful. I'm not saying this lady was the culprit. I know my friend was not, I'm just stating it comes and attaches itself through others emails and directs itself on to recently sent mail or the address book on your computer.
I've also learned that if you have comet cursor or some type of web accelerator, this is a big opening for viruses to hit. That's what the tech told me. I just thought I'd pass this along.
I'm happy to say that my computer's running even better than it did when I bought it...I'm definitely keepin' this tech.
