Klez, The Virus that Keeps on Giving
kylus writes "Wired is running a story about the continued escapades of the Klez virus, and the damage--both to finances and reputations--that it is leaving behind. Between emails from a dead friend and porno spam appearing to be sent from a priest, I think "Don't Believe the 'From' Line" is the correct lesson."
God bless microsoft email viruses. I'm on a modem for a few weeks and downloading
countless megs of mail viruses is extremely frusterating. Course I'm still
getting sircams.
May they spend the rest of eternity having to listen to Oral Roberts sermons
Do not spread "09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0" over the internet, thank you.

A week or so I start getting all these emails from different mailbox administrators, etc. informing me that emails I was trying to send had invalid addresses.
I'm looking at them and it shows my address in the from area and it was mostly spam for beastiality sites. My wife went ballistic.
I got tons of them back as undeliverable. How many made it through? And now people think I was sending them spam for a porn site.
They were coming back to my wife's WIN98 machine, so she called MS. The help desk chick tells her "Someone else has a virus and it is sending out emails w/your address" So my wife says "What do I do?" and they tell her to update her virus definitions. My wife said, "But you just told me that the virus is not on my computer, someone else has it. Is there nothing that I can do?" the girl says "Well download new virus definitions and check for service packs"
The whole thing was rather humorous.

It's hard to believe that's how Micronians are made. Why don't we see it right now by having you both kiss one another?
I also use Outlook, and I have had no viruses. I suspect the reason is that neither of us has any friends.
It's hard to be religious when certain people are never incinerated by bolts of lightning.
That is what happens when you don't use protection
Yes. Remember. when you have unsafe email with
someone, you're having email with all the
other people that person's had unsafe email with...
or something like that.
Mod me down and I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine...
Because it doesn't work if you spell all the commands wrong.
If it ain't broke, you need more software.
OT I guess, but... a headline I saw recently:
Priests Decry Witch Hunt
All I could think was "What comes around..."
> I'm afraid that the original poster is correct, the only place you'll find an adult site's reputation being seen as good is at their colocation (bling bling) and a pedophile convention.
Why would pedophiles care about an adult site?
