[W124] price_20-Dec-2006

[Frank Smyth]

The email from dakota at mac.com sent earlier today to the W124 list (with the abbreviation "W" in the email) has the Win32/Bagle.gen virus embedded in a zip file entitled "new_price20-Dec-2006.zip"

Cheers
Frank

Not sure who you are referring to, Frank. The above short-form header is a little vague, as it does not reveal a full address (only "Dakota").

My address is dakota at mac.com, so if it is me that you are trying to indict, you are mistaken. I have a Macintosh, so I am pretty sure that, a) it is not infected with a PeeCee virus, nor,  b) it is not infected with any PeeCee trojan doing any spamming. This is, of course, because I am not running the Microsoft operating system, Windows.

If only Microsoft could produce an operating system robust and secure enough to limit this type of activity, we all would be better off and not afflicted with the spam that proliferates the email system today. Several BILLION messages are sent every day, and 9 of every 10 messages, yes 90%!, are spam. And every single one of those spam messages, EVERY ONE, is propagated from a computer running the Windoze operating system.

Regards,
Steve
