BEWARE of virus that appears to be from GBO but is not
« on: December 16, 2004, 09:43:33 PM »
Guys I got an e-mail yesterday with a subject of: RE: Merry Christmas. It is a VIRUS and is NOT from GBO.

There is a GBO appearing URL at the bottom. On mine the URL was:

http://graybeardoutdoors.com/postcard.christmas.index.jpg1374 - Picture Size: 11 KB, Mail: +OK

Yeah same colors and same comment following it.

DO NOT CLICK that apparent URL as it merely opens the virus. IT is NOT a GBO URL.

DO NOT assume this is an e-mail from GBO. We're not sending out Merry Christmas e-mails to members. This one came to me from a GBO member so his computer is infected and it will send to anyone in his address book most likely as that seems to be how they are set up to do these days. I'm sure he isn't even aware he is infected. Worse yet it's at his place of business.

Just delete this one folks. Do not open and do not click what appears to be a GBO link but is in fact a way of opening the virus.
