Well, a long time ago, without thinking much of it, I opened a letter from cheetarus. Seeing as I know cheetarus probably least among the elder users, this was strange. It contained an attatchment, which made me suspicious, so I didn't open the attatchment, but i did open the email. I also replied asking what he wanted. I never got a response. A while ago I got a few from camo the same way. Today I got one from mintman which contained a file and a readme, but no text in the field. The subject was visibility. Now lately my outlook express has seen a rabid influx of viral mail. I'm just wondering, seeing as i never emailed cheetarius or did anything that would give someone watching my computer his name. So is anybody else experiencing this, or anything similar, or even know whats going on? Oh and mintman if you actually mailed that to me please remail with an explanation.Teamsters, so lazy and surly..

Yes! I just got that Visibility spam from someone called LONZ. I recognized the name, probably from R.E. somewhere, so I opened it an BLARGH!
I have seen this before, but not for quite some time. It is some spammer technique. They either reach into your address book or into someone else's book or somehow access your list of previous senders/recipients.
I dunno what it is, but just keep away from attachments I'd say.

yeah, I've gotten lonz too, but for a very long time, not sure if a friend or just a spammer, who knows.
