My outlook express contains the the following message (screen printed message) from my virus program Trend micro security.

To be honest I don't know how to open the attachment in text.

I would like to know who or what is sending the message, can anyone please tell me how to proceed.

Also can I just click delete and it goes away?

If its a sus file then you can delete it. If you want to open it as a text file, do so using notepad. Im a Mac user but if my memory serves me well highlight the file icon, right click and there should be a "open with/using" option. Select Notepad as the program to open the file with.

As for finding out who has sent you the file....check the header of the email. Bear in mind however that many emails with virus attachments have "munged" return addresses..ie the return address has been faked and isnt the address of the person the mail has come from.

For this reason chasing up the person who sent you the mail is a waste of time....just delete the mail and make sure yout machine is protected with decent anti virus software.

Thanks for the info,
I took your advice and decided no to find out who sent the mail and deleted same.

I have since worked out where it came from I have a cousin( missionary) in Nigeria and he suffers from hackers etc. so I have not been able to open his post over the last 6 months.
He goes to the British Embassy to send mail but this still does not stop the problem.

If it is, maybe a swift application of MFKL would help? Who knows? It could lead to a new slogan

Not only adds a lustre
To your cluster
But also clears your knackers
Of any trace of hackers!

It's gotta be a winner!

Ok, this is an official hi-jack, my box of numbers is sick. I can't post by hitting "post reply" or "Quote". When I do get to the post I can't type anything in the text box??. I'm posting this by the "Quick Reply" as I can't open a new thread...well it opens but I can't type in the box...weird. Where's a real Geek when I need one. I don't know where to start on this one.

Cheers

Darn it. We nearly kept him out. Now all we have to do is close the loophole

Try sending a bottle of red wine to ... with a bunch of long stem roses ... and a box of choccies.

If that doesn't work, send him a rude PM

Cheers

Do you have any sort of spyware buster?

If not, get a free copy of Spybot V1.3 & install it & follow the instructions.

If this doesn't work, send me $1527.55 & I'll be there, right after the funds clear.
