Computer Help Needed!!!
 
AAAAAHHHH! So I get this wierd email yesterday and I delete it but apparently that was not enough action taken because now my computer has a virus. The premise of this virus is apparently that my computer takes all of my files and then sends them to major universities and greek organizations across America. So I'm getting all these emails back to me from (for example) Chi Omega, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, U of Georgia, NYU, etc. I even got one back from the freaking Army recruitment office! All these emails are telling me that I emailed them a virus, and also telling me that (suprisingly) they don't want my "firstquarterbiblicalnarrativesessay" or my "NBOconstitution" files. I don't know what to do! I have never even emailed the majority of these people! I tried running Mcafee virus scan and Norton and they both say I don't have a virus but OBVIOUSLY I do. It's really rather amusing in a depressing sort of way for me. If anyone has any idea what I can do to not be infecting large organizations across the country, please let me know! And DO NOT open any email from CCornish@cats.ucsc.edu!!! Thanks.
love, Corina

you might try logging on to the Norton web site and downloading the lastest signature (I think that's what they call it).

Good luck ... viruses are NOT fun.

Any more3, if you get on a Web Site, because all of the Techno Sites are losing mony they are selling your e-m to anyone! :mad:

I got onto a radio stations site, and Damn I getting all kinds of Sh&^ and Porno Sites! Hell I am 83, I dont need that or could do anything aobut it!

A viris is when your system shuts down not getting SPAM! All Kinds Of Sh*&!

Try updating your virus definitions - you can get updates from the McAfee and Norton websites.

You might want to give a heads up to the sororities that will be meeting with NBO - just to warn them that if they get anything from you, it's a virus, not you spamming them :)
