Email response to someone who panicked and said not to open
emails because a virus is going around...

Should I email him back and ask if it's OK to open email yet?
Or will he get upset because I opened HIS email?
Or is this the "do not open any email EVER" virus email hoax?
On second thought, never mind. Do not open this email...

From "A Bloggery" by Old Comedywriter


In the old days of Outlook Express, we had scripts that used to deploy viruses by "forcing" the preview window open and the virus would run.

These days' it's not so easy.

A lot of files (exe, bat, com etc) are quite often disguised as word documents Excel files (e.g "Youve Got to See This Spreadsheet.xls.exe")

Most people just see the xls and think it's just a spreadsheet but in actual fact, it's an exe and they can be DEADLY to your computer.


If you don't know him, DON'T respond - If you do, then he'll know you exist.

If you don't need it - If you didn't request it - THEN DON'T RESPOND - DROP IT!! ! Like a hot stone!



Old Comedywriter - I'd have thought he was okay - but still, it sounds suspicious. Did you do him some wrong?

Perhaps that's just his way of writing.

Did you request a file from him? He is a member after all!

But besides all that, even if someone has no malicious intent, if their computer is infected, they can spread an infection to you, inadvertently


And besides that, not all members are 'on the level'. Just because they're members of WP, doesn't mean they're nice - LIKE ME :D

Be careful, or you may find yourself reformatting your drive and losing all that is precious to you!

No reason in particular. Just thought about a place in Wyoming.

Actually, Denver itself wouldn't be a bad place.

I wish I didn't have to sleep. Sleep is a waste of time.


Hi Catlover, I totally agree, but I'm one of the lucky ones. I only need to sleep between 3 to 4 hours a night. Some nights, I don't sleep at all.

I've got what's known as the period 3 'clock' gene. I rarely sleep

When I was a kid, I'd be wandering the house all night.

My Mother used to call me the wandering ghost! LOL

If I stay in bed for too long, I get a migraine!

I've been like that all my life - I was PERFECT for shiftwork!

I never suffer. I rarely feel tired.

Gives me PLENTY of time for my Special Interests - which I indulge in, right into the wee hours of the morning.

When I was with my partner, she used to konk out around 10pm. That was my time to shine! - All night.

Sometimes, if she came downstairs around 5am, I used to pretend to be asleep on the lounge because I knew, if she knew I'd been awake all night, she'd get the untold s**t. I don't know why. After 23 years, she knew I never slept much!

I'm thinking more like, way up in the Rocky Mountains!

Feasible?

What are the chances of being detected there? If I could make a go at it?

You didn't answer me and I'd really like to know:

Could I stay with you - just for a short while -

Just kidding Kraftie

THIS == vvv ==

But I could escape - I could save up for the airfare - I've often thought about it.

How hard do you think it would be for an Aussie to get lost in your society, not get noticed and just LIVE - I'd have no greencard. No income (unless I found someone prepared to pay cash in hand)

What are the chances of being 'absorbed' in your society without being caught, detected?

I can put on a really great American accent. Perhaps I'll just pretend to be mute!

It's hard to get off the grid in the US. This is especially true if you work with computers.

I can sweep floors too. Clean toilets.

...

Maybe not clean toilets - but you get where I'm going!

I wonder if I'll even have a job at the end of the month.
