Wetlook World Forum

This file mascerades as a MIDI file, but has a "scr" extension. The subject is usually "unsubscribe".

I mentioned Wetinred, as one of the returned mails was from him (he was on the receiving end, and was not in any way responsible, as he also has his security settings so he is safe).

It's time to mention again that nowadays a virus scanner and up-to-date definition files are mandatory!!

Sorry for the off-topic bit, but, looking at the addresses forged, I feel certain somebody who frequents this forum (and has a Yahoo! Plus account - that is the most common theme in the "return path" - You have to have a Plus account to use POP and SMTP with Yahoo! at least in the US) has an infection. I'm hoping folks will double-check their systems. The returns seem to be following Wetlook followers' addresses. Even a few forum administrators (Nigel's OK) of forums I don't follow seem to be represented in both the forged "reply" and actual "return" fields.

I'm encouraging especially the owners of any Wetlook forums or Yahoo! groups (WIR excepted) and who has a Plus account and uses Outlook or OE to check closely with a good up-to-date virus scanner. A firewall that monitors your email program is a good thing. My Mcafee FW shows the log to be clean with no unexpected Outlook operations.

Now that I blew an hour double-checking my system (even though the times were all when I had the computer disconnected), I'm back to surfing!
