Al,
This has been happening on the holygrailsm board for about 7-10-14
days. Apparently some sicko hacker-type thinks this is funny.
I'm not very sophisticated in computer security. I received email
from a recognized board poster that had NO attachment and NO message and that's
how I got the Sleezy Klez worm into my computer. You do NOT have to have an
attachment for this worm to get you. All your program needs to do is go to
the next email and you're infected!!
Within a couple of days, the worm knocked me off our office network, erased
me from the main computer but still allowed me to get on the DSL. Then,
other programs became problematic: attachments in Microsoft Office formats
(both Excel and Word) would either not load or only partially load as in no
graphics but big white places where the graphics should have been, etc., etc.,
etc.
To cut to the chase, when I installed AVG, it found 3 wormy infestations on
my active C drive (including in the download section of my stock evaluation
program VectorVest) and 703 had worked their way into my less active D hard
drive.
Let this be a Clarion Call -- it would appear your board is next..
Get your prophylactics on NOW.

In the last half hour or so, I've received about a half-dozen emails
with attachments from sources that I haven't been able to recognize
and that seem very strange. The attachment window automatically opens
and asks if I want to open the attachment. This doesn't usually happen
unless you actually click on the attachment icon. Suspecting a virus,I
immediately erased them without opening them. Has anyone on this board
gotten such emails recently? I'm wondering if viruses are being
transmitted to the Amibroker address list. Al
