Yesterday got 47 spam mails, now everytime oe is opened it recieves at least 10 every few hours.
There is one connection to them. two of them was from jap tuning co.
Scoobycity.co.uk and pow-r.co.uk (may just be coincidence)
I was wondering if there is something up with scoobynet and maybe its gone bonkers sending emails from one addy to another. All sorts of 'names'@ are being used. all mails have no content and seem to be in error!

Anyone else getting stuff recently. Im suspicious cos of the scoobycity and pow-r mails


Cheers Ed

Ed- I was just going to post concerning my lack of e-mails in the last few days.

I haven't received any when I know I should have.

I've even e-mailed myself and got nothing although it goes through the motions ok but just keeps saying no new messages.

Anybody had this?

The MYDOOM virus is out and does exactly what is happening to the guy whose post it is!!

it infiltrates your system and starts sending out emails to every b*stard!! rumour has it that it opens a back door on your machine for hackers to get in as well....update your sigs guys!
