Virus... sick of it. — Forum Archive

I don't know, but I am very very very tired of getting 4-5 viruses a day via email.

Is there so many people out there that have so many problems? it seems this problem is because of our email validation system, because all viruses get to webmaster@neworderonline.com which is the only place this email is used for that.

Pleeeeease check your anti-virus software, I've seen weird things, like bounce mail of a mail with a virus coming FROM us.. and I can assure you this is impossible.. not only do I have Office XP, but I installed an anti-virus software recently (I never had to do it in 12 years) to be sure it wasn't coming from me, and I'm clean...

Seriously, there is a f**king virus out there sending mail "on behalf" of people you've received mail from, so be careful...

:shrug:

P/S: I have not been on this site in a little while, sorry, been and still am busy with work..

I had this problem a good few months back, I was receiving upto 20 junk mails a day, a couple had virus'.....luckily I have Norton anti-virus, which informed me immediately and allowed me to delete the files before getting rid of em.

In the last few weeks I have again been getting loads and loads of junk mail, I just delete any that look even slightly suspect;)

BTW....still no bloody vids....pull yer finger out Nicos!

Shugsy, man, knowing Nicolas for 13 years now, I can tell you that a good way to make him send you back your videos would be by THREATENING him.

Chap called Barry Moore or something like that may be able to help.

Have also only started using Norton recently for anti-virus stuff, and was shocked at how much infected mail there is out there.

Has anyone got anything decent for spam mail? I'm getting a ridiculous amount at home now and wouldn't mind filtering out some of the rubbish.

Have yet to find anything any good to get rid of spam. I've had to open new accounts to avoid stuff - I had 279 different spam messages on my hotmail account Saturday alone. Hotmail are the worst offenders, though I'm geting 20 a day on Yahoo these days as well. I try to avoid using Outlook, as that seems to be the way that infected stuff gets in.

just on the talk of hotmail, has anyone of you got msn hotmail? if so are you having trouble getting into it by signing in. in the last week by any chance...just so i know its them and not just mine, cant seem to get in touch with microsoft about this. this has happened since they changed the look of hotmail. cheers...:)
