Folks! It appears that some sicko puter or person usin my email have been sending virus's to bunches of people. I am infected I guess but have sent NO emails since I opened the email from Lenette. It was infected although it wasn't kicked out by my anti-virus thingys. So---I'll not email anybody again until the puter tech checks mine out again. He was just out here last Thursday and done whatever they do. I'm sorry for any damages my puter has caused anybody eventho I didn't know. I'm gettin rather angry at those misguided folks that have done all this damage to puters all over the world. Almighty God knows who they are and they can't hide from Him.

Until He calls or the puters are fixed---the old hootowl is now standin down for a spell. old hoot gibson. Matt. 24:44

Hoot, I'm curious here. Did you just open an email or did you open an attachment to it?

No point in getting upset over it and no reason for anyone to be upset at you over email they got "from you" like this. These virus programs are now typically two-pronged. They wreak their havoc on your machine AND get into your address book and send themselves to everyone there listing you (of course) as the sender. Then, of course, they do the same thing with those PC's and address books.

Good luck with your PC. For what it's worth, I avoid problems like this (at least thus far) by never opening attachments from strangers AND never opening attachments from people I know unless I've confirmed with them that they did, in fact, send it AND that it's something original as opposed to something they're forwarding. So far, so good. ;o)
