Let's play the 'name the virus spreader' game! :)

Okay, I'm getting heaps of these damn virus e-mails as a result of the latest idiot virus creation 'Doom'. However, I think I can at least help one person to realise they have the virus on their machine.

Today I got an e-mail to my PayPal donations e-mail account with a spoofed from address of 'ian @ stardock.com' (note the spaces to prevent further spread). So if you have made a donation to me in the past for my skinning work (and let's face it, that narrows it down a heck of a lot ) and also know an Ian who works at Stardock, you might want to scan your machine for the virus.

This public service has been brought to you by grayhaze.com and the letter 'V'.

update.. IT guys at work say its possible this slipped through someone's nets a week ago and circulated around an exchange server, but that its most likely a hoax. my second scan turned up nothing so i'm ok.

i think more than any thing. fear is the biggest part of the recent virus upriseing. some gumbys will try to cash in on this fear. the best anyone can do is keep their antivirus updated and grin and bear it. keep every thing backed up, and relax. the biggest thing ive read that motivates virus makers is the panick they create (it gives them the illusion of power)..
