Just a note to warn about what was in my bulk email box a few minutes
ago. I got an email with an attachment that claims to be a promotion
from Trew Audio. It says it's a Word file, but it's the .pif type and
when I scanned it before downloading I got this warning: Virus
"W32.Netsky.D@mm" found.
Just thought some of you would appreciate the warning.
Darn, just when I was hoping for some goodies on sale for NAB! |

You can pretty much bet on the fact that those infected e-mail
messages are NEVER actually from the person identified as
"From:". That is one of the functions of the virus/worm.
Today I received a "warning" from msnbcreports that they
rejected my email message because of the attachment. I have
never even heard of "msnbcreports" and have certainly never
sent any email to them. The email was likely sent from some
third-party infected user who has both my email AND that of
msnbcreports in their address list. |

I received a virus "spoofed" from myself in my spam folder today! It
certainly didn't come from our e-mail servers. There is no doubt that one or
more webbies in our audio industry has Netsky. I highly recommend regular
virus scans and aggressive spam filters.

We get the same thing here. Kinda funny, cause the from e-mail it uses
doesn't even exist any more.
