Just a heads up... USERS BEWARE!!!

[CaptainJim]

Until I got my Jeep and started posting on this site, jeepz.com & jeepforum.com I never had any problem with my computer, email or spam. Now all of a sudden I have 300 spam emails every few days clogging my mailbox. Even worse this week I just got notices from my website/email host that they are going to disable my account because they have had thousands of complaints from people that they are being spammed BY ME!!!

They said if it wasn't me doing it purposely doing it then I probably have a virus. I bought and installed a new Norton Anti virus program, ran it and guess what... Appearantly my machine contracted a virus/trojan horse called 32Netsky somewhere. Of the approximately 55,000 files scanned on my machine almost 8000! were infected (7,913 to be exact).

I had Norton quarentine all those files and then had them DELETED. I think my machine is now clean & I would like to keep it that way so I have disabled my email name [e-mail] . Anyone wishing to email me can do so through my website www.aquacorps.com . I will not be posting here it for public viewing.as it then becomes to easily accessible to spammers & hackers.

Just a warning to everyone to watch out!

Thanks,
Capt. Jim

Thanks for the heads up Jim. Being in IT for a living, I can't stress enough how important it is to make sure your PC has virus protection, and that it is up to date. I'm happy to see that you got Norton installed. Please, do yourself a favor and make sure that Live Update is configured to run at least once a week. The best virus protection software in the world won't do squat if the virus definitions are out of date. Good luck with your PC ;D
