have been very discreet about who I give my e-mail to. Through all these
years there has only been two times that I have received a virus through
e-mail and these were both from friends whose computer had been infected
with a virus. Two days ago I made the mistake of posting my e-mail address
in this newsgroup along with a problem I was having. Now today I have
suddenly received FOUR e-mails so far that contained the w32.swen virus with
them. Two of these were about a microsoft security update with microsoft
logo on them-which I knew right away were viruses and the other two were
about some fictitious undeliverable e-mails. THis is totally disgusting that
you can't post an e-mail address here because evidently certain individuals
are targeting E-mail addresses they get from newsgoups like this to send
viruses to. I WOULD STRONGLY URGE THAT YOU DO NOT POST YOUR E-MAIL IN THESE
NEWSGROUPS. If you do you best make sure that your virus program is up to
date and checks your email.

============================================
That unfortunately is the nature of the Internet now.
This has been noted many times before in this newsgroup.
Best to make up a bogus email addy when using any newsgroup.
Also it is my opinion that file sharing programs such as Kazaa are
inherently dangerous as you have no idea as to who really you are
sharing files with and what they may be infected with or even
deliberately spreading around through such programs.
