I have been hit with some kind of a virus that has used my address book as
access to send attachments to everyone in it.
You may or may not know who I am, because AOL automatically adds an address
every time I send an email, and unfortunately, I have not been very diligent
about deleting those names. (My next project, after this email...)
If you receive an email from me with ANY attachment, immediately delete it; I
did not sent it. The infected email may or may not have a subject line of
"Hi" (without the quotes). The attachment may be exe, hta, scr, or pif.......I
don't really know, because I didn't send it; my computer was used as the
"mule".
If you have opened an email w/an attachment from me, you may want to
immediately run your virus program. After that, I would appreciate knowing if you did
indeed receive the email from me. I am assuming that it was sent to everyone
in my book, but AOL, who caught it and shut me down immediately, says that it
went out to 588 addresses at once, and that is much more than I have in my
book.
I am truly sorry for any convenience. It is sad that there are people who
have nothing better to do than cause problems for hundreds of people who they do
not even know.
