Thread Name: Tech: Worm rampaging the net
Subject: RE: Tech: Worm rampaging the net
OK folks...can one of you tell me what is happening to my computer? I have a Mac, and never really believed they were virus proof and they aren't..but I just used shareware..now I got Norton and scanned everything and found no viruses (maybe I did it wrong). I had to take it off again because i froze up my computer. I really don't have anyone local I can ask about this...I talked to my ISP and they said it doesn't seem to be a virus, but I have been unsubbed from 3 lists (one that I run) for full mailbox, bouncing messages etc. I have had several messages in the last few weeks from places I have never heard of saying I can't subscribe to their lists. I have gotten messages saying that I had a virus or a worm and messages I never sent could not go through (thank heavens). I got some wierd message from congress. A lot of my mail is not coming through. I know Pacifier was having problems themselves so that might explain some of it but not all. I have had people on other ends scan me for incoming viruses and they say I am clean..or my computer is anyway. So what could this be? They at Pacifier, and this was my thought, said it might not be a virus. I thought someone got hold of my address, either personally or a computer, and is using my address to do other things with. I know I have to change my address right away. Can I still keep my old email?

What else?
