I'm receiving strange email. Is it because I have posted inthis newsgroup?

I too have been getting those "microsoft latest security patch" and "couldn't be delivered" emails. I don't open the attachments either but they all have .exe on them and I run a Mac, so they wouldn't work on my computer anyway. I've been getting 20 or so of these emails every day for about two weeks now! I finally created a "rule" to delete these little puppies as soon as the arrive because I got so tired of my inbox being flooded with them. Very annoying! Try this and you won't need to download them.You can set up filters, delete or bounce them straight from your ISP, that goes for any mail you don't want to see. You can also set up a "friends list" for mail you do want and keep it seperate from the list so you don't accidentally delete something important. I have been using it for months now, one click and they are all gone http://www.mailwasher.net/ I've deleted abot 3000 of these thing over the past few weeks, and that is a coservative estimate, it is probably more. -- Don`t Worry, Be Happy Sandy -- E-Mail:- Website:- http://www.ftscotland.co.uk IRC:- Sandyb in #rabble uk3.arcnet.vapor.com Port:6667 #Rabble Channel Website:- http://www.ftscotland.co.uk/rabbled ICQ : 41266150 |

I did not read anything about viruses on MACs. I was talking to the Windows
folks. Viruses are a problem on Windows because its use is so pervasive. The MAC community is so small in comparison. I am going to put Linux and X windows on my old PCs though... so I'll know more info about that in the future. Jim "Surgicalrn" wrote in message ... I'm assuming since I run a Mac I don't have to worry with this or am I wrong? All the virus scan stuff that is for "free" or what have you are always for Windows based systems. The guys at the Mac store told me I really didn't have to worry about it because almost all viruses, worms, etc. are windows based. They told me to never download and run program installers from the internet unless I get it from Tucows, CNet or some other reputable internet based software place and I know I haven't run any type of program that was downloaded unless it was from one of these. |
