Wayne...It may be that those of us who frequent this bullboard are a little more in tune with what is going on on the internet than the average internet user, and have got virus protection. Up until a year ago, I never had any, and it cost me about $750 to replace my motherboard and BIOS as a result of a virus that I didn't know I had.

If the subject hadn't come up here you might never known you had it until things started going wrong. But, as you also know, I sent you an e-mail to let you know as soon as Norton detected the virus, in case you hadn't read the Board at that point. And I have done this in the past with customers who have unknowingly passed on a virus. You might do your relatives and customers a favour by e-mailing them and alerting them to the possibility they might have it.

Wayne... I, and I believe the other folks here, don't blame you or Glenn or anyone for this problem..I know that the only one I blame is the A**hole who created it in the first place!

Hehe....this has got to be a fun virus for its creator. Between Midnight and 8am this morning, I received 16 e-mails with the virus on them. Five of them were from Wanda's and my computer at home.

Just gotta love it.

LynnDee sent warnings to everyone in our address book today. We are beginning to recieve replies from some of our suppliers. One said that she didn't know if it came from us but it got opened on one of their 3 networked computers and went through the whole shabang. They're trying to fix it now.

Man, if they catch this dude, he should be prosecuted to the fullest extent. How many manhours that are wasted in people's businesses, not to mention ruined computers, from this kind of junk.

Must be a deranged sociopath, psyco or something.

Just plain evil.

Thanks Dave for sending me the warning.

The heck with the Law. I've for some Louisville Slugger justice! If I could afford it, I'd hire Guido and Vinnie.

I just wish my McAffee Anti-Virus program had been able to do a better job.

I can see your thought of humour, but I can't.

People that have this happen to them at any level has to deal with it!

Not a nice thing to stop business to fix a problem of someone that thinks this is a joke! (Not You!)

But the Person that started this!

Someone in the group or outside has gotten the idea that this is a way to break this party up!

So much for that!

As the group has help each other out in the times of need!

Glad to see all the support that this board offers......

Hi Heads,

Got my computer back up and running. Cost $87.50 for the experts at DMI here in Bloomington, Illinois to fix it.

They told me this is a new virus, and a real nasty one. They told me Norton would not detect it unless I had just updated like last Saturday. A lot of people were infected with this, not just sign people.

I have now had a total of 57 e-mails come my way with the virus. They are mostly from the Letterville family. Some are from total strangers.

I have had local businesses calling me all day long informing me I was sending out a virus. I called as many people as I could to warn them.

My daughter in Florida got 2 from us and 1 from someone unknown. She was about to open the attachment from us.....we got her on the phone just in time. The name attached was "blue stinger" just like I was told from the very begining and posted here. However, it is the same virus.

As a group of friendly signmakers, we seam to be sharing a lot more than knowledge.
We are all going to have to work real hard not to spread these "social diseases" to each other.

I have deleted all the names in my e-mail address book. This won't happen again from my computer.

I'm two days behind work now....how about you guys?
