Did you get an email titled, "Really cheap Viagra. area inaugural slipped Glock" from "Or"? Seems my Outlook has been invaded by a worm sending Viagra advertisements, with a Russian URL link, out through my computer.
There are a variety of problems here. The first is spamming friends and those that I have working relations with. Then there's ensuring with a high degree of confidence.this is not a continuing problem.
The bright side is that Facebook friends will enjoy my discomfort for a few hours. That, and I'm grateful the rogue email wasn't suggesting breast enhancement since most people who read this blog are gals.
Years ago worms were a big problem for emails so I created in my Outlook email a bogus contact called Worm (first name) Alert (last name) with my email address. Then if I ever received an email with this name I knew someone besides me was accessing my contact on Outlook.
I hope no one is badly annoyed by this while I get it fixed.

Clever idea. I don't use Outlook but still get offers of assorted enlargements and enhancements in my emails. I think they're coming from societal worms.
ReplyDeleteWell, as we both now know I was afflicted recently. I wish I'd have had access to this idea before last week!! Great one.
