What’s This, Kubuntu Sending Worms
19 10 2006This is way to funny. I think spammers need to start reviewing who they send their “worms” to.
Mail server report. Our firewall determined the e-mails containing worm copies are being sent from your computer. Nowadays it happens from many computers, because this is a new virus type (Network Worms). Using the new bug in the Windows, these viruses infect the computer unnoticeably. After the penetrating into the computer the virus harvests all the e-mail addresses and sends the copies of itself to these e-mail addresses Please install updates for worm elimination and your computer restoring.

I guess it’s like all my bounced spam messages that come from a Windows XP computer running Thunderbird 1.0.7 (while I run Kubuntu Edgy and KMail :)).
anonymous? there was nothing stuck up what so ever about that post. If you haven’t been able to tell, there is a tad bit of humor to each one of my posts. Just so you know, I am one of those Linux users that are grateful for what Microsoft did for the industry.
The humor here has nothing to do with Microsoft, but the fact I received a worm email with the said attachment. Yes, I think Linux is better in this aspect that Microsoft, because guess what, I opened the email and laugh. You can’t do that in Windows.

Dannilion: Rocking! KMail is my favorite! I thought with Thunderbird and Windows XP you were a little bit safe at least. Couldn’t tell you. The last time I seen a Microsoft machine running was, heh this could turn into one of those Ford/Chevy/Dodge jokes really quick, but anyways, the last time I seen one running was in a screenshot I think
