Just this simple reminder not to open the attachment with the Snow White Virus. I received two today alone, didn't open them. But, I thought I'd remind some people here of the dangers...

You are right, Empires - I've received three times in the last few days.

My guess is that ebay customers are dragging this thing along with them. Seems as though I only get it from email/ebay related messages! Got a problem ebay?

When I get this email, it doesn't seem to be tied to any other email. I guess what I'm saying is, it comes alone, by itself. I set a wave sound to alert me to emails arriving, and the alert will sound that snowwhite will be the only email there.


Not my name on ebay.

Ditto to what Valleygirl just posted. I was getting that damn snow white email several times a day, for WEEKS. About a week ago it stopped?

Fingers crossed ........

Valleygirl- I understand what your saying, but I'm noticing the pattern. Any other suggestions on following the pattern of events? Thanks!

Here is some info on the Snowhite virus that was posted here several months back. We set up our e-mail on all three computers to block it and we haven't had it since.

We run Norton AntiVirus 2001 on one computer and have Innoculate (free download) on the other two. With the Snowhite virus I think it is okay to just delete it and not open the attachment.

I also noticed that it's going around again. I use Earthlink which has Spaminator so it never ends up in my email box; just ends up in the trash bin at Spaminator.
