Everyone should run a scan.
I only use this email with other board members. So if I am in somones address book it may have come from your computer. ------------------

Some of these viruses don't even need an address from an address book. They can pull of email address from cached web pages you have visited.... pretty scarry stuff.

I guess it could have, but don't think it would be any different than having our email listed in our profile or the email button link. But I removed it. Also I have only used that email for a couple weeks. Beats me.

Yes. But if some nut goes to the trouble of sending a virus, you know they're gonna get addys anywhere they can.
Best for everyone to keep the Anti-Virus software updated, atleast once a week. And know that eventually you will get a virus someway or another. Cause the world is full of nuts. ------------------

71Chev, the virus (worm) would be on someones infected computer. When they would look at a page with you e mail on it, the worm would have taken that e mail address and used it to send the worm. The person whos computer that is doing this probably has no idea this is happening.

Yes I understand...
But till we can line up and shoot the paople that make a virus. We are left to defend our own computers. So people, if you don't have anti-virus software. GET SOME! and be sure to update and run scans weekly! ------------------
