Ron Wantaj?? XL file

[Jerry Wass]

Hi Ron,

I got an E-mail letter & Excell file from ---is that
you??

I just reformatted my computer & lost a buncha stuff---is it something I
requested ??

I'm afraid to open it -(no virus protection right now) w/o confirmation.

Thanks ahead--
Jerry Wass

Nope...I'm . Good call, being suspicious.

Fun thing is, I'm getting a lot of email from the "wanttaja dot com"
domain...which I own, and know DARN well who has mail aliases to.

You got hit with a virus. It was spoofing the return address -
apparently someone else that was infected had your address and the
parachute people both in their address book.

Find a local shop, have them boot with a clean disk and find what
you're infected with.

As bad as it is, you're lucky that you got a virus that gave you an
immediate indication that something was seriously wrong. The worst
ones quietly destroy all your data in the background without you
knowing.

The last days, Norton antivirus have been updating the virus definition
every day, normaly it is once a week.

I think it pay off to have a subscription on updates.

I hope I didn't lead you on to something bad. it was not my intention.

No, Jan, I now realize you said --"looks like it came from here" meaning the
Idaho

reformatted last weekend!!!--usually my server screens all this stuff, but they
must not look into XL files...Jerry
