Achilles Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 It was after the reinstall. I think the first one came on the 8th or 9th. I deleted it so I don't have the exact date. They came from her hotmail account though, so it could just be a virus that spoofs email addys. But I only get them from her and 3 in 5 days is a little too much of a coincidence.

Darth333 Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 Well that can't be: not only I already scanned the comp a few times but I wiped out my entire hard drive and didn't copied my address book nor any of my old stuff from the backup yet. I used e-mail from this computer for the first time since reformatting only tonight and before that there were no e-mail addresses stored anywhere in my machine. The person having the virus is more likely someone who has both my address and yours in his comp (very likely someone who visits here). Btw, are you receiving those e-mails from my sympatico or my swk.com address? Anyways, I can't confirm it yet but I think my problem is solved. Will post more details after testing out a bit more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth333 Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 No, I'm a spoiled only child I noticed there was a promotion for ultra high speed last weekend so I upgraded. I also made a repair install. I seem to be able to download without problems now but I don't know if it's because the problem is really gone or if the speed is just masking the problem. I'll have to test on bigger downloads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
