This morning my in box was full of virus spam with attachments ending in .pif. Don't open any attachment from someone you don't know and don't open any attachment from someone you do know if it ends in .pif because it may have been sent from their computer without their knowledge by the virus itself. This is the "sobig" virus that has been in the news lately. |

Oldslow there is a new virus going around right now that is circumventing Microsoft's Patch and isn't being picked up by anti-virus software right now. Microsoft doesn't know how to stop it yet either but they are working on it. |

DJ, I think I'm a victim of that, but not with that address. I can send and receive emails from the Owner's service no problem. Only when someone sends me a big file (newsletters from another car club I belong to), it bounces back to them.
What are these viruses that you mentioned and where can I find more info about them? |

Just read an article a minute ago about two new viruses that are making the sweep with dire consequences. Your problems could be part of that.

I'd like to know if you've experienced problems receiving large-size attachments (in the "mb" range). |
