| Posted By: Tangler100 Posted On: Dec 3, 2003 Views: 458 | (MAJOR Virus Alert.) Just found out about this off the Netscape "What's New" window. It appears to bypass major anti-virus filters. If You Get This E-Mail, Delete It ASAP Called the W32.Mimail.L@mm, this latest scourge on PC users plays a sinister trick to harass anti-spam organizations via e-mail. The virus arrives as an e-mail attachment to a lewd message from a woman detailing an erotic encounter. It also sends a follow-up threat to send child pornography to the affected computer's user, reports Reuters. The virus files are compressed to escape anti-virus filters. When Mimail.L is activated, it collects personal information from the computer and turns the affected PC into a "zombie" that can be told remotely to attack certain targets. The virus forwards itself to every e-mail address on the infected PC and uses the host computer to send a torrent of meaningless web traffic to computer servers operated by anti-spam groups including Spamhaus, SPEWS, and Spamcop, notes New Scientist. If enough computers are infected, it could create a denial of service attack. Here's the new sinister trick it plays: If it is unable to send itself as an attachment, the virus will instead send a message telling the recipient he or she will soon receive an illegal pornographic CD unless they immediately send an e-mail to billing@spamhaus.org to cancel the order. Spamhaus says it is receiving a message from an irate user at the rate of one a minute. Wired magazine reports that so far this new Mimail virus is a light outbreak, especially when compared to last summer's epidemic of viruses. How to spot this wicked e-mail message containing the virus: Subject line: Re [2] We are going to bill your credit card: Attachment: wendy.zip The message text is a lewd letter from "Wendy" to a man named Greg. Keep your guard up. Tang |
| Posted By: Rough Posted On: Dec 3, 2003 Views: 456 | Freaking lovely If only the people who come up with these things would use their considerable intellect for the betterment of mankind. But, I guess in their own twisted little noggins they think they ARE doing something for mankind. Hey, perhaps they are...I mean, who am I to judge? Damn computers..we were all probably better off without them (present website excluded)! Thanks for the heads up, Tang. God knows, I'm flooded with suspicious stuff all the time. I picked up some "new worm" about a month ago that I couldn't delete with McAfee, so I have to quarantine the damn thing every few days. |

| Posted By: Zip the Tiny Wonder Posted On: Dec 3, 2003 Views: 443 | God, I'm SICK as hell Hello Tangler, Rough, and Alfonsothefan!! I'm up out of bed for the first time in a week! I'm so DAMN SICK! I feel just awful. There is something really bad coming out of every orifice in my tiny body! I'm runny. I have the headache, sore throat, dizziness, upset tummy, and my nuts hurt something terrible. I have lost 4 pounds, 3 ounces since last Friday. It's some type of goddamn virus, I know it. I want to ask you smart people if I could have caught this nasty virus through my computer? I have been on the computer an awful lot these last several weeks. I mean a virus is a virus, right? If I caught it from my computer, should I contact someone over the internet about finding a cure? Forgive me, but I really don't know a whole lot about medicine or computers (both are over my head). Dr. Mackey says to get plenty of rest and I'll be right as rain soon (but those goddamn doctors will lie to your face). And Mackey misdiagnosed my hernia back in '97. I have long suspected him of being a quack. If it's something terminal, it has been wonderful typing things to you people! Life is so damn short. Gotta go puke again... ZiP |
| Posted By: alfonsohefan Posted On: Dec 4, 2003 Views: 427 | RE: (MAJOR Virus Alert.) Dear Zip, Yes, it sounds fatal. Looks like you're a goner. Nothing else to live for. Hell, may as well shoot yourself. Black Thursday. All Dr's are quacks but yours told you the gospel. Midgets and dwarfs tend to die young. Yep, you're outta here... Throwin' up, whoofin' yer cookies...sad... Whatta way to have to go... but...you're gone. ...sorry, but the DWARF IS TOAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a nice day atf |

Terminal? If only we could be so fortunate! Anyway, court is now in sesson. All rise. (Court Clerk) Your Honor I submit to you case no. 37, The People vs. the Dullard(Rough/Zipper). (Judge) Be seated please. You may procede. (Counselor Doug) Your Honor, I would like to submit the following into evidence as exhibit a. This evidence comes from the CWWS Reviews Board under the subject header: Wildcats 2-BOOOORRRIIINNNGGG. On Dec. 3, Rough wrote(as himself)the following: Jeeezus..I'm sorry I said anything to bill. It just 'peeves' me a little that he always makes some cute, smarmy remarks about vids he usually hasn't even seen... (Judge) Without objections....the above stands as exhibit a, and will be entered into evidence. You may continue. (C. Doug) Your Honor, I would like to submit the following into evidence as exhibit b. This evidence comes from the DIHQ Message Board. It is listed under the subject header: SO THIS IS THE PLACE!!!!!! and subtitled Hello "Zzzzz":) On Nov. 18 Rough(as Zipper) wrote: You and Dougie can keep your smarmy comments to yourself! (Judge) Without objections....the above stands as exhibit b and will be entered into evidence. Counsel may continue, but do try and wrap it up. (C. Doug) Yes your Honor. In conclusion I would like to say that the word smarmy is a term in the English Language but it has been used on the above mentioned boards(CWWS, DIHQ) only once each. Once by Rough, the other by Zipper. This can mean only one thing-ZIPPER IS ROUGH!!! (Jury) GASP!!! I rest my case...... |
| Posted By: Judge Hoochie Posted On: Dec 4, 2003 Views: 387 | Slowly step away from the computer It is the opinion of this court that Sherlock Douglas has WAY too much time on his hands and has been thinking about this 'case' WAY too much. Might this court suggest a long vacation to collect his sanity? Someplace tropical perhaps? |
| Posted By: Nick who notices Posted On: Dec 4, 2003 Views: 382 | RE: (MAJOR Virus Alert.) And they say Rough surfs around too much ! This person must have spent half a day infiltrating enemy lines to get this information ! Thanks a million but why are you telling us this ? |
| Posted By: Inspector Clyde Posted On: Dec 4, 2003 Views: 376 | The plot thickens! Following up on the logic of Inspector Dougie's recent case study, I have uncovered two recent posts on Barbara's Womansplace Site that surely confirm this conspiracy runs far deeper, my friends! Submitted for your perusal: POST 1 The post to Rough from Harry on 12/2 "Attn. Rough". Responding to Harry, and making reference to sexy lady ass kicker Suzie Johnson (aka "Robin"), Rough says, "I will give her a holler". The word holler being used here, a most uncommon word. Some would call it a slang term. It's unusual much like 'smarmy' is! Are ya feeling me? Hang on.. POST 2 The original 12/3 post from Jabroni, titled "If there's anyone REALLY qualified". At the end of this lengthy post Jabroni says, "If your serious about what you do, give me a holler and lets see what can be done." Aha! That bizarre, seldom used bit of slang used yet again! There is only one conclusion, based upon the logic that Doug has so plainly laid out before us: JABRONI IS ROUGH! I know it's hard to believe, but as anyone with reasonable intelligence will certainly tell you, when two posters happen to use the EXACT SAME word at any ONE TIME, it automatically means THEY ARE ONE AND THE SAME! ZIP IS JABRONI IS ROUGH! Bounders! I know it's a hard pill to swallow. This weekned I plan on using the words 'sex', 'fighting', and 'wrestling' to connect Rough to about two dozen other people on the aforementioned website, as well as this one! I SHALL get to the bottom of this! |
| Posted By: Sam the sexfight addict Posted On: Dec 4, 2003 Views: 371 | RE: (ROUGH Alert.) Also note that Rough uses the word THE and the vowel A quite alot. Thought he would get away with that one didnt he ! Lets not forget the word AND ! I dont know what to say about this zip guy. To think before Zip the tiny wonder the only zip I knew was George Zip. From Machogrande but thats not important right now. What is important is we get to the bottom of all of this ! (only afew will understand that joke) Its all in code. Is Rough Zip ? Is Jabaroni really Barb ? Is Barb really Dio ? Is Dio ever here? Is barb ever there ? Shut up ? Ok I will then. Can the rest of us too please ? Samuel |

| Posted By: Inspector Clyde Posted On: Dec 5, 2003 Views: 350 | Further down the rabbit hole of deceit This "Rough"..damn him! My early investigations have begun to unravel a diabolical plot so disturbing, it's making me sick to my stomach! Rough is also..alfonsothefan, legion, JSK, bloom, Harry, Cleo, Doug, Dio, Tangler100, Marty, Barbara, DrChin, Sketch...and I've only just begun. This is surely but the tip of the iceberg but it is enough to confirm that ROUGH IS THE PUPPETMASTER! I suspect he is a higher up in a global conspiracy of some sort (perhaps the Illuminati or the Shriners). Regardless of who he really is, he's pretty much running the show. You're either writing to him, sending him money, or thinking about him right now. You're all mere pawns in his game of total world domination. ROUGH! God only knows what it really stands for. Of course, I'm probably toast now. People like this Rough don't take kindly to having their grand conspiracies blown to heck. He's probably tracking me to this very seat right now as I type this! The way I see it, there's only ONE way to stop this evil megalomaniac and that is tooooooooooooooooooo..................................... |
| Posted By: alfonsothefan Posted On: Dec 5, 2003 Views: 341 | RE: The illuminati or the Shriners?! Hehehe... that was great. Hey, how 'bout Skull & Bones or Amway? Amway MLM jerkoffs don't even call themselves Amway anymoe, they got such a bad rep. Not unlike calling someone here Jabroni. God that's nasty... (can I borrow the illuminati or Shriners shtick...too cool for school...) atf |
| Posted By: JSK Posted On: Dec 8, 2003 Views: 256 | RE: (MAJOR Virus Alert.) Glad you liked that one Wise-ass : ) I simply love that movie and each time find something new to laugh about ! Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffin glue ! JSK |
