Some of you may have been tempted to visit the latest 'anti-mycroft' website... this may lead you to receive an E-mail from iainwilshire@ hot... you know the rest... don't open it... it contains a simple but irritating virus... needless to say it is not a 'present' from me but a little prezzie from the tortured souls who put up the site...

Should I wish to send any of you an e-mail I will not send it from that E-mail address as there has never been that facility from there...

Every full moon...

Pass all the details to me and I'll have my friends in the Computer Crime Unit look into it. Virus distribution is a crime that's taken very seriously. Example

Use my work address jclark at nai.com

Thumbs down

Can't believe someone would do that, having a go at someone they have a beef with is one thing but sending a virus to those visiting and probably agreeing with the site is seriously screwed up.

Maybe its the guy who thought I was you on the Soarer question in "other marques". Very sad, I hope he gets what he deserves.

Liecroft's at it again - there's no such virus, the site was a freebie Angelfire site with ONE html page with a link to a Lycos guestbook.

What a lying tw@t!

Pepper > the email address doesn't have to exist with virus's, they can be spoofed..

But on another note, how do we know that it wasn't registered before - perhaps you are trying to cover up your tracks - say that you just registered it!!

I'm afraid you really have got it wrong I'm not Mycroft, the only person who can confrim that is Mycroft himself I suppose, not that you would believe it. If you feel happier believing that I am him then fine. I'm no expert on cars and such just an average guy who likes fast motors. I think I'll avoid posting on topics involving you as you seem to be a little crazy. No hard feelings though, I just can't understand your obsession.

you're really hatstand pepper!

Who else do you think is Mycroft!!!!

I imagine Mycroft will be laughing away to himself that you have gone down the wrong track. Still a promise is a promise I'll try and keep out of your way, frankly you are a little scary.

This sent to me by Rand at the TIF site... this is not the first from our 'friend' Pepper

###
Virus emails meant to be from you...

Did you know that you are sending out viruses?????

I'd guess it isnt you , even though the email is from iain@iainwiltshire.co.uk

The email lists an "lcheetham" as being the real source, ring any bells????

Let me know if you need any further details

Stay cool
Rand

Someone called 'lcheetham' has used the link on the site to link it to my web site... if anyone here has been 'zapped' by this and can be ahsed to pursue 'lcheetham' then please do!

It seems although Pepper >may< not be aware of it his anti-mycroft site was used for a more serious matter...

From another person who has been vocal against 'Pepper'.

Yesterday, I received an e-mail, supposedly from Mycroft, with an attachment on it. I know that the sender was not Mycroft.

The attachment was destroyed immediately prior to receipt on my system by an automated virus search facility that all the college computers are protected by. The e-mail contained a virus, designed to cause maximum annoyance and not a little inconvenience (obviously).

It would appear that I have upset someone. I imagine that the person(s) I have upset see me as a supporter of the "Mycroft cause". Those that know me will be aware that I have both agreed AND disagreed with some of the opinions expressed by Mycroft.

I believe in free speech and I also believe that there are two sides to EVERY story. It would appear that someone out there does not.

I also believe that the person who does this kind of thing is a spineless coward - and if he would like to meet me, at any time, in any place - he would have his opportunity to prove me wrong.

I would like to warn all Forum members who are perhaps not fortunate enough to have the level of computer security that I am afforded:-

DO NOT OPEN ANY E-MAIL OR ESPECIALLY IT'S ATTACHMENT IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE IT HAS ORIGINATED FROM. DELETE INSTANTLY ANY E-MAIL THAT PURPORTS TO COME FROM MYCROFT UNLESS YOU KNOW THAT TO BE THE CASE.

I'm never sure of how much of what you say is true, however...

I can assure you/anyone that I don't have anything to do with any viruses - I wouldn't have the first clue of how to write or distribute one, neither would I intend to do so.

I don't care whether you believe me or not Liecroft, I mean I don't believe a word you say after all!

I still think you're a fvcking tw@t btw

Furthermore - if anyone thinks they have any "information", then they're quite welcome to "release" it - I've not broken any laws.

In fact, I'd be interested to know who's responsible for the virus if in fact it did exist - especially how they managed to do it on the back of my crappy little freebie web page!

I STILL think you're a tw@t btw

BTW - out of interest, which forum was that message posted on (the one at the top of this page)?

Strangely enough, I can't find it on any of your regular "haunts"...you sure you haven't made it up....?

The post from Rand [at the top] was a PM from him so no, all your stalking of me will not reveal it... [on a side note, get a grip of yourself and stop ******* my steps ]

All your 'protestations' are for nothing, anyone here who has witnessed your almost socio-pathic posts would be hard pushed to give you the benefit of the doubt... additionally your behaviour is certainly a magnet for other nutters who >may< be madder than you...

One way or another you are the problem...

The people in charge at the TIF are p!ssed off with what they think is your petty vendetta... but don't stop because of me... I think watching you get wound up is like watching an accident unfold in slo-mo... fascinating to watch... but you wouldn't want to be 'in there' tho...

LOL - what a tw@t, you think you've "got" me

I'm not wound up, just saying my piece in an attempt to counteract your lies!

I've got nothing to be worried about at the end of the day, I know what I have and haven't done.

Obviously I've wound you up though, otherwise you wouldn't concoct stories of viruses and things to try and get me - LMFAO, most satisfying!

BTW, as I said - feel free to "reveal" any of your "information", I couldn't give a toss! LOL

Oh, one more thing - if that was a PM then why does it contain a warning to all forum members, doesn't make sense! Clearly that's another one of your "inventions"! LOL

LIAR

edit - its also not addressed to you personally, it refers to you as if he's talking to others! PMSL, nice try t0sspot
