both of our computers had been infected with the sircam worm virus from opening an email attatchment.<BR>what this virus does is ti will leech itself to random files on your hard drive and send them to people in your address books or in your cookies, without your knowledge.<BR>so between the 2 of us that worm got sent to about 150 people. ( sorry Cali) including the XOW. (she emailed and asked why we were emailing her)<BR>we found a site that contained tools to get rid of it so we no longer have it.<BR>about 2 weeks ago OW Once again trying to contact and resume relationship with H via Yahoo messenger..... he caught on rather quickly and was totally discusted that she ONCE AGAIN wouldnt leave us alone. so when he told her that he knew who she really was.( she was posing to be someone else) She has the audacity to claim to be her H! trying to find out if theyre still in contact ( can we all say DUH?) So H told HER that if she tried to contact either one of us again he would file harassment charges (applause) <BR>my point in writing this part is to point out the fact that everytime she tries to contact eitherone of us ( she likes to post here to me) H hates her a little bit more. He told me that he should have realized then what a psychopath she was, <BR>anyhow so we infected the XOW's puter with this worm virus..... after we found the tools to get rid of it we sent the addy to everyone in our mailing lists. I asked H if he sent it to OW ( this i would not feel as a breech of no contact cause the intital email was sent by accident)<BR>His reply was something to the extent of Let her figure out how to get rid of it herself.....( undoubtedly i was pleased by this response) however seeing as i know she doesnt know much about puters <B>I</B> myself emailed her and explained that the email was sent by accident and sent her instructions on how to get rid of it. I choked down the gall rising in my throat that i was actually attempting to help this woman who certainly hasnt helped me. but anyhow I did help her.<P>I think this is a turning point for me when i can feel no more anger at XOW. all i feel now is pity. Shes very needy and will do anything to not feel that way.<BR>Her life is very depressing and emotionally its bringing her down. I think now i understand her a bit better....Her last email to me was to put it nicely, as much as you can yell at someone by typing and i figure that she hates me for interupting her temporary happiness..(EA with my H)<BR>her marriage has been on the rocks for a few years now that i know about and there seems to be no hope for them...they both had previous PA's that i know of i dont know how many though.... she even had the audacity to hint that me and her H were having an affair.(huh? shes kidding right?). .not that i think either of them really want to work on it. Pointless really if you dont want to help yourself...<P>So anyohw would you all help an OP get rid of a virus your WS accidently sent?<P> if anyone out hat has this bug to this address<BR>it will explain what the email looks like and how to get rid of it<BR> <A HREF="http://symantec.com/avcenter/vinfodb.html" TARGET=_blank>http://symantec.com/avcenter/vinfodb.html</A> <P>that is basically a list of all recent viruses<BR><p>[This message has been edited by TeeAreOhYouBeEL.Eee (edited August 08, 2001).]

Don't make me feel guilty. We have the sir cam virus on our computer at home. We just recieve an e-mail here at work outlining what the virus does and not to open any attachments. I'm sitting here debating whether to tell H of the problems it may cause. Now, I have to decide whether to tell him how to get rid of the virus too. We have a big problem with him on the net and I sometimes wish our whole computer would blow up. I don't want to mess up the other files we have, but if he couldn't get on the net and into chat rooms and on Yahoo messenger. We haven't gotten as far as you and H evidently have. What do you think?

well if you want everyone and their cyber dog to have vital information from your computer then go ahead and leave it on there if not i would suggest you tell H and send him to that web site posted above everytime yo reboot your computer the virus makes a new file to send out in email

also let me add that EVERYONE you have ever emailed will recieve this same virus sent by you.<BR>technically it wouldnt help with H's puter problems. it will slow the puter down but not much else in that aspect<BR>all it will do is multiply and attatch itself to other files kinda like cutting one worm in half so you get two...thus the name sircam WORM<BR>

I'm going to fix it. Just having evil thoughts and envisioning smoke rolling off monitor. :P<P>Thanks for the info on getting rid of the virus.<P>Anna

I'm gonna be a meanie and say "HA HA on XOW"!<P>Sux to be her!<P>Whoops, didn't read the whole dang original thread. So to clarify, I was sayin "ha ha" that she got a virus ... but not that her life is not good. Yikes .. Karma!<P>Jo<p>[This message has been edited by Resilient (edited August 08, 2001).]

ok i figure the XOW ( H calls her STUG) forgot to take her prozac or something.<BR>after i sent stug that email explaining about the virus abnd how to get rid of it days pass and im thinking good shes just gonna read and do what shes gotta do to.. and we arent gonne hear from her........ nice though but. WRONG!!! <BR> H gets email from stug and tells me to open it cause he dont want to ( he's very discusted with her continued bull$hit... first contacting him as her. then when he dont email her back poses as her friend just saying hi. then as some other chic who supposedly has the wrong the person.at the same time writing as herself trying to get H to think of this demented scenerio that ive got something going with her H... claiming he has my email and wondering why etcetra..then when stug gets busted as this other chic she claims shes her own H....wondering if theyre still in contact..like he even cares.gimme a break the only thing he knows how to do on a puter is look at porn..... that one cracked me up).. anyhow<BR>she emails she didnt open the virus .. ok fine nice......... havent spoken to you in months...... ummmm ... ok psycho.....but ya all know the good thing?..... she does this crap and H and i can laugh over it... oh yeah and stug claims she(when she was this other chic) is writing a book... about relationships???......... ummmmm i dont think it will be a best seller considering all she knows hows to do is cause trouble....not to mention her relationship history is rocky to put it nicely.... <P>anyhow...... just wanted to post since i dont all that much anymore..... (stug likes to keeps tabs on my posts) take care all and good luck<BR>T<p>[This message has been edited by TeeAreOhYouBeEL.Eee (edited August 20, 2001).]
