That is because there is a virus going around right now that uses those titles as its headers...

DO NOT open the attachments in those emails...

thanks bro, i definitely appreciate the heads up! i did not know that. but does that mean someone didn't actually send that to my EF addy from my zip addy? which scares me more than a random virus. but there was indeed an attachment in that email, but it was not opened. i never open attachements and always delete any unusual or unexpected email.

thanks again bro!

It looks to me like it works in the same fashion the Klez virus did months ago, in that it "disguises" itself as someone whom you may open the mail from (thus spreading the virus...)

Dr. JMW, whats the problem with blocking address' in a hotmail account?

 

[robph]

thanks for advise bro i have both yahoo and hotmail but i never had problems with it i better switch fast

 

[DrJMW]

No problem with blocking addresses. I just receive important emails from people with hotmail accounts, I write them back, and I receive an email saying that they never received my reply. I have a hotmail account for personal stuff, and I always have to check the Junk folder, for every now and then, an email I am expecting from someone ends up there.

hell about time somebody said something. who the fuck would use a hotmail or yahoo account and here????? its like dropping your wallet in central park if you use those crummy email acounts

What makes you think secure emails are so secure??? I know of a few well-known sources that use a hotmail account to conduct their business.
