"Thank You" Virus eMails
I have gotten, at last count, 5 of the "Thank You" virus (?) eMails as "undelivered" from my ISP Earthlink. I am deleting them. I forgot to indicate the first 4 as "Junk", but did so on the last one received about 10 minutes ago. Is this it?

Same here. I guess I'm not popular enough to be in anyone's address book.
It is strange that I haven't gotten any. \

The person who told your sister that seems rather misinformed. That virus has no way of working on the Mac, the file that carries the virus can't even run on it. Its possible that someone else (on a Windows machine) has it and her email address is being spoofed and it looks to be coming from her.

BC is having some serious problems with their email...
they are blocking ALL incoming non-BC email.
sledge if I remember correctly your sister is a sophomore... if she has a mac then the virus isn't active on her computer... but she could be forwarding it on to other people.... which is HIGHLY unlikely unless she is doing it on purpose...
who has been telling her that her computer is infected? (as in if you could give me *their* email i'm sure I could help sort this out...
some people in the IT dept at BC have no clue how to do anything...
oh, and BC gives out free antivirus software... its on their website... i'll PM it to you
...once again I get this:
Yesterday I actually deleted all emails just to make sure I would have enough space just in case I would get this kind of crap.
