Strange E-mail...Turned Virus!!!

September 9, 2002 6:39:10 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
I am very thankful that my ISP has a E-mail virus protection

I got a E-mail today In my Yahoo account. Sender - adni18...Subject - Our Privacy Policy. It only contained an Attachment. Oh the E-mail Says to come adni18@skinbase...

I forwarded it to my ISP account and thats where i got the surprise! My ISP informed me that the E-mail contained this - Virus: Exploit-MIME.gen.b

Now i know that Nikos didn't do this It just surprises me how sneaky these Virus's are getting!

Take care with any email you receive these days, even it appears to be from someone you know. I use MailWasher to check for new mail. Good way to weed out all the spam, and preview any mail, before I actually download it.

I wonder if that mail was only to elvee.. hmm.. cuz i didn't get that email.. and i wonder if adni is fine... cuz some viruses force your computer to send it's copies to all the email that are in the email account's address book when it has took control of the computer and the email account. I hope adni is fine...

Hey elvee
I guess that this virus got all your e-mail addresses and started sending him self to those addresses.
I hope and I wish you not to have problems with this virus
