denny411 Posted June 19, 2002 Author Share Posted June 19, 2002 Sorry to post here.I sent an email to the address on the mail, but I wasn`t positive that it was really from you or not. I`m lucky that it was caught. my update service ran out about a week ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockjaw Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Probably a Klez virus (worm), and it is likely it did not come from him as much as it came from somoene who has his address on his computer. We were having a real problem with them in AL a month or so ago. I was getting them everyday in email from people I did not even know. Norton killed them all. Was there an attachment to the email? That is the sign of a Klez. Says something like Download attachement and has a misspelled word in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denny411 Posted June 19, 2002 Author Share Posted June 19, 2002 This thing was 317k. I`m not sure what virus it was yet because it was only quarantined. My update service ran out, but I`ll have everything updated after the weekend. I usually don`t open anything from people I don`t know. It must be some fanatic from zcar.com messing with us It seems odd to me that some random person would be picking names arbitrarilly from this site to infect but I guess it could happen.

pparaska Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 Sorry, I've been kind of out of touch (work is beating me up lately). I've been emailing denny back and forth. My home machine is clean, and the work one should be fine too (I update my virus definitions automatically every boot and run norton protect full up.) Probably Klez. I get alot of those emails. For like the last 6 months! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denny411 Posted June 24, 2002 Author Share Posted June 24, 2002 I may be a target now. luckily I do have all of my updates. I got two emails today that were infected. Both were zcar related titles. I would not recommend opening any email without having your virus software completely up to date I`m pretty sure it`s from someone at zcar.com I`ve made too many comments about them being nissan fanatics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 I agree - run Norton with daily virus updates done automatically, and run auto-protect on all incoming files and internet web accesses. Just being a vocal anti-purist surely has made me a target - I could care less if they keep sending me viruses. Too bad their little world is so petty that the spawn negativity and closed mindedness instead of just DOING SOMETHING COOL. The admins here get lots of viruses emailed to us. We just laugh it off and let the software trash-can it. Such losers. I feel sorry for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pparaska Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Thanks guys, after a small slap by someone on the 240Z-club mail list today, I appreciate those sentiments. I dunno about a million though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Shasteen Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 If they truely are sinking that loooooow; then they definately are bottom feeders. Why do poeple have to be so pathological at times, are they so insecure in their little worlds they cant allow someone else to have an [idea] or opinion of their own? Sad, sad, sad indeed. Eh; we're better off w/out'em. Kevin, (Yea,Still an Inliner who never opens email from someone I dont know/or recognize) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockjaw Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Are you guys all part of the vast right wing conspiracy to get rid of Bill Clinton? HAHA Seriously, the Klez infects a computer and then uses a name in the users mailbox as the sender, and sends out emails. Pete was just in someone's computer with the virus. It can also randomly generate a name, depending on what virus it is. Do not open an email that offers Klez protection either. I got them everyday for a while, and got two last week, one here, and one at home. No matter what the subject, do not open an email from someone you don't know. Norton will catch it when you get your mail. I could not get MacAfee to work right, so I quit using them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denny411 Posted June 27, 2002 Author Share Posted June 27, 2002 I`m pretty sure the virus`s that I recieved weren`t "klez".My norton could not repair the files, nor could it identify it. Also, for the Klez to attack me from Pete`s pc, my email addy would have to have been on his computer. Up until I recieved the infected mail, Pete and I had never corrasponded. IMO, someone was useing his address to send mail to another Hybridz member. The fact that he is an administrator, made it much more likely for me to open it without scanning it first.

pparaska Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 denny, I'm glad you didn't get burned with the Klez. And no, I don't think this was a Klez thing either. It just didn't work the way Klez does. There are some issues with some other email addresses, but I won't go there here. I'm pretty sure this is a deliberate act. I laugh everytime they come through and Norton clobbers them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
