After reading this email I noticed that a certain anti-virus script that had run in the background for several years on my old laptop did not restart on my new laptop after I migrated applications and files from the old machine to the new one. If this was the problem, it has been fixed. The exposure period would have been about 3 weeks from early May. The type of virus involved could have sent email using my address book. But it does not appear to propagate by email. It is a JavaScript virus that enters a machine passively through a web browser loading certain bogus website pages. I am also now receiving obvious phishing emails. The most recent purporting to be from the Bank of America, "Notification: Re-Enroll your Account Information" (I am not a B of A customer). However, this is not really anything new over here, a few of these show up monthly. A link in above email is masked to appear to be going to the B of A actually goes to a European domain. www.eahh.dk Robert Stodieck stodieck@INTERNET. comcast.net > From: James Long <n6yb@INTERNET. arrl.net> > Reply-To: James Long <n6yb@INTERNET. arrl.net> > Date: Fri, 04 May 2007 17:11:48 -0700 > To: SARES mailing list <sares-list@INTERNET. sunnyvaleares.org> > Subject: [SARES] virus scans > > SARES members should do a virus scan on their computer.
