Western Railroad Discussion > Virus from railroad oriented address

My Norton just hit on a Watson type virus allegedly sent from rail-photos@dGroups.cox with a subject line of Site Changes.
Beware. Don't bother to e-mail the sender since it is not likely they actually sent it.

Been getting quite a few here as of late with Trainorders addresses on them. Most are of the "Netsky" virus.

I got something from "help@trainorder marked Trainorders.com website update" I havent opened it Could this be a virus?

I got something similar a few days ago. It was the newsletter, and it didn't mess up my computer at all.

Im just rather nervous of opening anything anymore that seems a little odd with all this virus crap out there

We sent out a mailing to all trainorders.com members. I can assure you it is not a virus.

Go to google and search for Antivir - install it and make sure that you use the internet updater to check for updates at least weekly - I do it daily. The program is FREE and excellent.

I didn't get it. Did Norton or SpamCatcher filter it out??? :-)



Actually, I did get a message on the 9th --- was that it? Seriously, I do worry about missing real, important, messages with all the filtering necessary to protect against bad stuff.
