Joke.cpl - i know, i read the other virus thread - but has it happened again?
Got an email today at 6pm GMT contains the attachment *joke.cpl* might run it for a laugh...lol might not....
Yeah. Don't run that, it is a virus. VERY sorry. See: http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/1/6913
The most frustrating part is that I have no idea how it's happened.
(No, our mail clients at guild are not infected, this is coming from an outside source, both times). Ugh.
Regardless, I won't put another mailing list into place until I have some sort of heavy authentication. Very sorry.

I believe you john, and as for running it, i may use windoze to play games(except when the odd gem comes along like vendetta), but not to check my email...lol

It's important to note that this one can spoof the sender's email address. Trust no one!

How do I know you're who you say you are, FM? You might be the Beagle worm in disguise, making me click that link to Give Mees a Vireusss!
Hmmm, now that begs the reply *How do i know i am who I say i am?....lol* But is this a dream? or is this just fantasy?..... hehe
Back on topic, i think a thread about this kinda thing should be pinned, as i have been here a while, and have had no virus trouble directly related to vendetta, and this is a bad virus that is not related to vendetta in anyway except that maybe it says so in the email headers (but not an email address that exists, unless guildsoftware have a catch all domain?)..... but mud sticks, so to speak....
[Edit]
I should be more clear, the IP is not related to guild in any way, is actually from and obscure country, nowhere near vendetta, but the return path states guildsoftware - i have email and more (recent) that tells me this is NOT them......
