Stop sending us virii! -DJ Sith - Mar 29 05:42am

One lucky guy or girl out there is running Outlook, no virus scanner, and has quite a few JA members in their address book. We're recieving a plethora of virii in our email lately, and it's driuving us nuts! So here's a friendly reminder to patch your Operating Systems!

The concept of sissy web browsers is extended to sissy mail clients. Please get a virus scanner, patch your OS, and use a real man's email client. Failure to do so will result in you being shunned by the rest of the Internet.

Thanks!

Were any of the emails from videopongman@yahoo.com by chance?

I got an email from yahoo admin a couple of weeks ago that a lot of emails from my address (the one above) that contained viruses (or virii :P). Until like 10 minutes ago, I hadn't sent anything at all from that address for months. It did have a .doc file attached to it (which I didn't open) which I found weird.

If it was, I'm sorry :(. I'm actually gonna get a different one soon, I'm sick and tire of getting like 50 emails a day telling me how to enlarge my penis.

Yay Mozilla!

I'd been using for a while. Good things too, and I have less headaches than with any of that Windows gunk. If only I didn't have to use IE to do Windows Updates. hrm....

But yeah. GO MOZILLA!!! YAY!!!

Isn't Outlook and Outlook Express the same program?

Well, because i am WAYYYYY to lazy to set up anything, besides the firewall that my dad uh.. borrowed, from the tech dept. at his office, i just use a FREE yahoo mail account, it comes with free spam blocker and virus checker, and no, this wasnt a sales pitch.

I guess I deserve a ban then :(
Don't worry I had to erase the content of my 2 comps yesterday... And reinstall a fresh system
but it will be Windows xp as I don't know how to use anything else.

Secondly, I was using outlook, so maybe it was coming from me, I don't know. I don't understand how it could by pass my firewall and anti-virus though.
