Re: Virus?

Surely reformatting and reinstalling is an excessively drastic step to
take? Surely?

Thank you Carl and Harry, for
alerting the Xylist. I am very sorry for the inconvenience and wasted
time. I had sent the following email to the people who I had thought had
received my malware email.

 

"I received an email from someone I know well which had the word
tagged in the subject line and said was sending me photos. 
Unfortunately when I opened it it took over my address book and is now
sending out the same email that I had received."

 

I am reformating my c drive and reinstalling windows this Sunday. Is
there anything else I should do.

The "social networking" site from which these messages
originated,



tagged.com, has a bad rep -- well-deserved, apparently -- for



phishing and spamming.




I've asked the UPenn list managers to block mail from this site.



Will let you know what they say.
