justnana Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 I really am not sending myself email containing virus. I received the first last night. So far today I have received seven with various subjects relating to my account nanascountry.com When I go to the message source I am able to determine that they are comming from dpc67142168117.direcpc.com. What, if anything, can I do about this? Or do I just ride out the annoyance of having my virus detector bring everything to a halt to warn me? Mary aka/justnana Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 Just ride it out. Price of having your own domain name. These are address spoofing virus emails. Quote
justnana Posted June 15, 2005 Author Posted June 15, 2005 Thanks so much for the quick response. Mary Quote

Deverill Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 Welcome to the forums! I just got my first "You got a virus on your machine" message from AVG Antivirus today. I was mad at first but then I realized I should be glad that it was caught and not hidden. Quote
