Virus!!!
Anyone;whos private;personal;e-mail;that I have.Don't open anything;from me.I keep getting returned mail.The message;says
that it couldn't be delivered;because;it contained a virus.A virus
must have; attached itself;to any addresses in my address book.
Only two of the returned messages are even people in my book.
One was Murphy;and I haven't sent him;anything;in ages;so it must have attached itself to my addresses.Word of warning-Don't
open anything from me until I get this straightened out.I will post
a notice here;when everything is OK.I have notified my internet
provider! Irish
P.S.I also notified Kim;because I tried to start a new thread;under
the Site news;but it wouldn't let me.My internet provider;said that
it; probably;came from someone;that had my address;in their
addresses.It's a vicious circle!

Lilith---Thanks for the information.Thru; the course of last night;
I must have had about 40; returned e-mails;in my mailbox!This morning;without exaggeration;there must have been another 25!
I have turned;my computer off;and restarted it;hoping that the
virus sweep;would take care of things.Evidently;it didn't!My wife;
will be home; from her vacation;late Sat. night.She knows;much more;about computers;than I do.Hopefully;she will know what should be done.Until then;I am not going to do anything with it.
When people;tell me;what to do.I don't know what they are talking about;so I'm just going to leave it alone. Irish
P.S.I have gotten;returned e-mails; from aol,hot mail;etc.I never even heard of most of the addresses;much less;sent mail to them!I don't even know;where;most of these addresses;came
from!

Oh Irish, I'm sorry you're having trouble with a virus...they can be so hard to elliminate.
It sounds like you have one of the versions of the KLEZ virus. That one is a toughie, because it goes right through your antivirus software.
The only way I was FINALLY able to get rid of it on my computer was by going to the Trend Mico site and downloading their free virus checker...........good luck.
