Post VIRUS ALERT

I am on another forum such as this one (car enthusiast site) and have recieved 2 e-mails subject 'HaHaHaHa' which is in Spanish with an atachment. I have just learned from the other site that many of them have recieved same. It would appear that they are picking up e-mails addresses from sites such as this. If you get the mail delete it. But I would suggest only using an e-mail address on another server (Like Hotmail) rather than you own PC.

How do I change my e-mail for this forum ???????

Hope I've got to you in time.

I have heard of this virus. Usually, it is a message titled "snow white" from "hahaha". Not sure what the virus does, but I have heard from people at work that it is similar to happy99 virus.

Posting the same message to every forum is a waste of everyone's time: yours in posting them, others' in answering them, and mine (and Pete's) in deleting them. Please don't do it again. I have left this one copy (since Joe responded to it) and moved it somewhere appropriate.

You must have been here at the same time as me, I deleted about 5 of them...and left this one too for the same reason...Not to mention a half dozen email messages notifying me of the new topics that had been posted for each one...

------------------
Soon as I come up with all the answers...they change the questions!!
