[Towertalk] What I did

[Stu Greene]

I have been hit with five e mails with infected attachments from 
fbf@netutah.net.  I used my mail application to open the headers fully, 
found the IP number of the computer which had been sending the e mails to 
me, went to http://www.arin.net/whois/index.html
which gave me the address of the ISP of the sender to whom I wrote and 
received the following communication



>Thank you for your e-mail. We will let our customer know that they appear to
>be sending out a virus. Please note that this may be done without their
>knowledge -- many viruses spread without any outward indication of infection
>on a person's computer.
>
>Thank You,

Warning.  This is not a substitute for an antivirus application such as 
Norton or McAffey.  What I did will, I hope, alert the just one sender 
of  a virus that he has problems.

As the man said, "every litter bit helps" and to TT purists, spare the 
flames, please
