[TowerTalk] virus

[Tom Anderson]

David:

Don't feel bad, the same thing is happening to me.  Someone's computer 
is sending infected e-mails to a DX club talk group where I'm the VP of 
the group that sponsors it.  I've put out e-mails saying its not me 
because the same IP address keeps coming back to a Comcast address in 
Oregon. Since the IP address stays the same its a good indication the 
modem of the infected computer is either cable or DSL.  I'm on dialup so 
my IP address changes every time I connect.

I've sent upmteen advisories out about this, but even firends of mine 
occasionally forget and send me an e-mail to check my AV which is 
updated constantly and my desktop scanned every morning at 3 a.m.

This infected e-mail with my spoofed address is obvious because every 
time it is sent out from whereever, the name of the organization is 
mispelled and it has a alias that I never have used, in addition to my 
spoofed e-mail address.  I finally just set up filters to filter it out 
of my computer(s) based on the mispelling and alias.
