If you get a massage from Streetrodstuff Inc, Don`t open it. It has the kleze virus. IT IS NOT FROM THIS SITE! Some bastard has found a way to disrupt again. I am safe from it, My Norton found and deleted it for me. Watch yourself with this one.

If I try to open the email, the screen goes dark, then a message comes up that Norton has detected a virus, and asks you what you want to do with it: delete, fix, etc. I always tell it to delete. Can't beat a good virus detection program.

Randy, It will scan the email as it comes in and tell you it is there, Quarrentine it then delete it from the system. You can do a manual scan too, then take it from there.

BTW, be sure to stay up to date on your virus definitions. Go to start, programs, Norton Antivirus, and there should be a place there to click, and it will update your definitions.

Well Ed, somebody sure is pissed and they're targeting this site. There is a file that has been uploaded to the DSRA Group site and I wouldn't advise anyone to open it. My computer says its a virus. Don't download it!!!! or try to look at it in any way.

I've gotten some of these too but my server has something called RAV or something like that and it catches these things before I even get to see it and lets me know when ever I check my email so it's allready deleted. Bill

Give me your home address via email and I will burn you a copy of mine. It is not hard to install, just follow the onscreen instructions. It is Norton 2002. You must subscribe in one year when it expires $29.

Hey Ed, you got me a little confused. If you burn one for deuce32 with all the current protection, OK but how can he keep current against new virus' without registering and that would be your number, no? Like I said, I'm confused. Help me out won't cha.....Frank

When he downloads it, it`ll ask you if you want to register online..clic yes and you are in.
--
The "New" and Unimproved edcroozer... Charter D.S.R.A. member

Ed-is this program already registered to you? I don't know a lot about computers but isn't that what constitutes piracy? I think it could only be used if the other party never registers it, in which case it couldn't be updated.
Just a thought.

Hmmmmm--just trying to picture you with a parrot sitting on your shoulder--ARRGH!

If anybody still has the virus e-mails forward 'em to Jason@streetrodstuff.com Just talked to him and gave him the scoop. If we play our cards right he can do a little Sherlock Holmes and investigate.

Fact is, Klez spoofs the from address on the infected email.

If any of you'd bothered to read the virus info at Symantic ot McAfees sites you'd know that.

Klez was one of the first worms to exhibit this trait and uses it very effectively.
It means that you can point fingers all you want, but you're likely not pointing your finger at the infected computer. Just a new way for a worm to survive a little longer.

You are correct there Mike. I wouldn`t be so suspicious if I only recieved one or maybe two, But 3-9 a day says...somethings not right here. One guy leaves from SRS in a huff and we get multiple email viruses and the dipstick site gets hit too. Too much of a coincedance.

Can't blame you for being suspicious Ed.
I'd be suspicious of the upload to the DSRA site, since that's not normal worm behavior.
Emails though, I've been getting bursts of 3 to 9 a day for the past month. Most appear to have some sort of "car related" clues, so I suspect that the virus is running rampant through the on-line car community.
Saving grace for me is the fact that we run a scanner on our mail server, so that by the time I see the messages they are already tagged {Virus}

My point exactly with the DSRA site. That was deliberatly put in there. We had a crybaby who recently left in a huff who is a computer geek, Hence my suspicion.

I too have gotten e-mails (including one listed as coming from this site). I am also convinced that a certain bad suit wearing/technowbby has gotten mad and sent it our way.

Know on some of the other sites they can track your IPO number or what ever the correct initals are so maybe they can watch for a lot of looking at the site from that patrictular number.

Bob

Yea man. I'm kind of thinking like digger, which is why I posed the question. I know we all just try to help each other, yet I can't see how Norton can allow two registrations and two update channels for one purchase. Now if you don't plan to stay current through updates, then I understand. Once somebody registers a copy things logical should get sticky and I'm just thinking ahead in the hopes that nobody gets squeezed......Frank

I guess you would be a pirate if when you are billed for the sevice and you don`t pay it. I gave the same disc to a friend who registered it and was billed, he payed it and continues service. I wouldn`t think of pirating anything, If it is illegal, count me out.

I like my Norton 2002 real well. When i get virus sent through e mail this program lets me know by dimming the lights in my shack as it's destroying the e mail at the same time or was it the electrition that wired the shack... Hmmmm now you got me thinking. hee hee

I had the old KLEZ bad a few weeks age. It's a real active virus and gets into everybodies e-mail address book. Look on the internet for an explanation (Symantic site's a good spot for an explanation, and (I think) a free download to deal with it. In my case there was one pesky file that could only be deleted in DOS. Four or five of my contacts had it also, even though we're not directly related by e-mail. Can't tell who got it or who spread it. The important thing here is that it was probably not introduced or spread on purpose, just some asian S.H. with too much time on his/her hands.
Norton seems to do a good job avoiding it and F-Prot has been recommended by another car website manager. Just so you know -- if it had come from me, it would have exploded (yup, it works that fast) weeks ago.
