The Doctor Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 So this will only happen if I open an email with a sex-related subject? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAiNz.2da Posted January 31, 2006 Author Share Posted January 31, 2006 So this will only happen if I open an email with a sex-related subject? "With the Kama Sutra worm, this is a traditional style worm, meaning that it takes user interaction in order to become infected; someone has to double click on a file attachment Yah, but if some "genius" decides to mutate it.. they can hide the link as just about anything.. Just don't click on stuff unless you know who the message is from or you specifically signed up for "it" (whatever "it" is.. newsletter, news, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladimir-Vlada Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 you'd be suprised how stupid people can be when it comes to emails It is commonly known that pornography isn't advertised using e-mails. The only way it could happen is if it is in the junk mail folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth InSidious Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 What I don't understand is: what kind of warped mind derives pleasure from harming others' computers? It's a nuisance, yes, but that's all. Do people really sit in little rooms sniggering at the immense power - "I am all-powerful! I can...err...annoy people terribly! Hee-hee-hee! Aren't I evil!" I mean, really. Do people have that little in their lives? And if so, shouldn't they just commit suicide and have done with it? Thanks for the warning, Chainz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I don't understand about most people that are here, is that they all want to give me friendly advices (especially about Internet explorers) because they want to help me when in trouble. But it all seems to me that the ones that always get in trouble because of these things are those people. Just an observation, nothing else.

Just an observation, nothing else. No, we don't "get into trouble" because of stupid reasons. We do have friends who have our e-mail and then use it for who knows what, either chain letters or other crap and then spam gets into our inboxes. Yes, we do have friends with which we can share our e-mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an observation, nothing else. wrong I haven't gotten into trouble at all since switching to FF >_> but trust me I get anywhere from 10 to 50 in one day that go straight into my trash but still every now and then one gets into my inbox then I just proceed to block that address and people are pretty stupid as far as email goes when I worked in an IT department we flat out blocked emails with certian titles and certian attachments. becaues people are clueless about email hazards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Devon Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Heh. Anyone with at least half a brain should be safe from this. How could anyone be so foolish as to open up an e-mail message with porn? Messages like those almost always have viruses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthsidious666 Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 "Unfortunately, there is no way to patch user ignorance, and the way this virus propagates is through user ignorance," Hah hah.
