Worm Virus

Postby John *.?-!.* cub owner » Thu Jul 12, 2012 12:58 pm

I have gotten emails from 3 different forum members, showing copies also went to other from members, with a link to a work at home site. Assuming none of them were sent to me intentionally the computers most likely have a worm virus that is sending the emails without the owners knowing it. Make sure your virus software is up to date, and run a FULL scan on your PC, not just the standard quick scan. I have PMed the people I received the messages from, but this is good advice for all of us. so far all of them have come from people with Yahoo email addresses.

you are part of the problem!!!

Just received a message from one of the senders that his Yahoo account had been hacked, but it was now corrected, so I am assuming that is where these are coming from.

My wife had her yahoo account hacked but I don't think mine was. Nobody has said anything anyhow.
