>Is it possible that you have some spyware/malware that has infected your machine, Sean?

Ellis, may I suggest you monitor and delete Sean's posts as long as they carry this attachment?

Sean, if you are not sending this intentionally, please install an anti-spyware/malware package such as Spybot S&D or something. Others can suggest packages as well.

Giving you the benefit of the doubt.

Chuck.

>Fellows, if I remember right, similar goings-on happened on the rec.crafts.woodturning group a while back. If it's the same thing, someone used one of the regular contributors' name and logon to send this kind of stuff. Advanced spam?

I'm not really up to snuff on how it's all done, but let's let Ellis determine what the problem is, and take care of it, without jumping on Sean unless he's truly the culprit.

If he is, I trust Ellis can somehow block any further posting.

In case you haven't noticed this particular type of problem before, these nasty attachments to innocent posts are the result of a computer spyware/Trojan that has infected the poster's machine. It could happen to any of us, and it certainly wasn't a premeditated attempt, by Sean or any of the other victims, to post unsavory things here.

For future reference, when you see something that doesn't look like it belongs here, click the "Spam Patrol" link at your left and send us an e-mail. We have just today expanded our network of spam mitigators (the "spam patrol") who will normally get rid of these posts in short order. When we don't get to it right away, please bear with us. Nobody is watching every message posted all the time.

Thanks again for your help and forbearance.

Best regards,

Ellis Walentine, Host
