Re: Update your Anti-Virus Software and Watch Your E-Mail closely...


Murray,

I believe your analysis of the "Deborah Setzer" email  with virus is
accurate.
It was received by my iMac at about 10:00 this morning, PDT.  I know
for an absolute fact she was still in the hospital at that time,  had
no computer access and was indeed talking on the phone with a friend.

Additionally, since she moved to Northern California at the end of
June, she had to change her email address, but it does  NOT  include
"wcclp.com".

The email was sent to PIEN, Sparkle and to at least one other forum or
list that I am aware of.  Lastly, I was unable to find an original
"Ignorance is Bliss' to which this was supposed to be a reply.

I trust this will come back to haunt the perpetrator, and I am quite
convinced it is not Tenacity wins -  Deborah.

Hi All,

I just received an e-mail supposedly from "Deborah Setzer"
<tenacitywins@xxxxxxxxx>

The subject line reads Re: Ignorance Is Bliss

If you should get a similar message, delete it without reading it.

Why?  My Norton Anti-Virus Pro quarantined and then deleted an
attached virus.

Does Deb's computer have a virus?  I'm not certain, but I think
probably not...

Why?  The raw data contained in the header has a couple of clues.

The To: says To: undisclosed-recipients:;  ... Does that sound like a
message from Deb?  Not!

Deb would post to the PARKINSN List or possibly to me directly...

The second "clue" is this bit of text... NPF Interaction Server Message

"NPF Interaction Server Message" leads me to believe NPF's server may
have a virus...

And may be directing it's virus messages to ndisclosed-recipients
(addresses found on any communication passing through
NPF' server) using an address also found thereon (Deb's) as a
pseudonym...

It's a jungle out there...

cheers ...... murray
