My Details, Thank You, Wicked screensaver

It isn't just you: EVERYBODY is getting these things this week. They are viruses, and should be stopped by your virus scanner (by the way, see Kerio Mai Server if you are not scanning at the desktop and the server).

See http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,1225393,00.asp for details on this virus.

You may also be getting mail from people complaining that you sent a virus to them. If you are infected, you might have, but many viruses scan mail address books, pick out random entries, and send mail to others pretending to be from the address they picked. So if one of your contacts is infected, their machine may send mail to hundreds of people that looks like it came from you. Examining the full headers carefully would show that you didn't send it, but many virus scanners just automatically complain back at you.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
