Heads up to the moderators

My email address was harvested off this web site and I received one of those obvious junk mails as a result.

from: iluvpusssomuch@ yada yada dot net, with an html attachment.

Naturally, the reading pane was set so that when I checked email I could not get away from it without having clicked on it. Then when I exited Outlook something tried to save to a Word file.

So, the next hoop was to run a virus scan, and the other security utilities.

Normally I register for online things such as this forum using a hotmail address, but suffered a laspe of memory and used a real one when I registered here. It took me going through several forums to double check before I found it.

I've since gone in and changed the email address, but thought you all might want to know.

 

Well, I've gone back into my CP and looked and I want to agree with you, as it seems to be hidden behind the forum tools, etc.

But, if this is the only place where I have used that email address, how would it have been found anywhere else?

 

What anti-virus program are you using with Outlook?

AVG Free version.

Got tired of NIS hogging resources. Same with McAfee.

We have CA on the office where I work -- it seems to be busy all the time.

Figured to give the freebie a try.
