Ok, I know this is off topic towards Aphex Twin - but its a serious thing I NEED to know about... or share at least. Here goes, for the last 3 weeks ive been getting these really REALLY weird emails, file size anywhere from 2k to 132k or so, and either there is no text or no attachment, so how can it be 132k or a bit less? On top of that its from different email adresses every single time!! Then, my girlfriends email adress started sending them too, and now and then they have really weird messages such as "here is a tool for you, i jope enjoy it you" or something weird! WTF is this!? This is seriously fucking weird. |

i got similar short messages of about 120k with a link to symantec or some other antivirus sites from ppl i don't know... weird. my computer has been acting strange (i can't install norton antivrus nor mcafee!!), so i might be fucked. anyway, delete on sight |

And it had the EXACT same message as about 10 before! Im gonna ask everyone I know on the net and in person till I figure it out, its weirdin' me right out. |

Sounds like your girlfs machine might have a virus... Those other emails are from people who have you in their addy book having the same virus....so all you can do is delete em and hope however it is sorts their machine out...(it might be from your girlfs so sorting that out would be a good starting point..)... probably worth doing a Virus scan on your machine as well...just in case, they can hide real well... HTH... |

The virus is called KLEZ. It accesses the addy book in outlook express. So long as you don't try to open the attachments you should be OK. Reflex do you use outlook? IF so change asap. That program is shit. Hackers constantly look for weakenesses in it and hack it. CHANGE NOW! Check here for a littlle info: http://www.cam.ac.uk/cs/newsletter/2002/nl212/general.html#2 |
