I received a call from a lady complaining that she received email messages from people she doesnt know. Apparently, this problem is being caused by a worm/virus and she already knew it was the problem. She already informed me that the attachments have a w32 virus, as it was detecteted by Norton. As I tried advising her on what to do, she interrupted me and told me about her "gut feelings" with regards to this problem.
She told me that she is supporting this congressman who happened to be against gay marraige, and she usually sends email to this politician to express her support for his cause. Her "gut feelings" told her that some "people" were able to learn of her email address and are now sending her emails to wreck her pc. She was telling me that those people were maliciously sabotaging her life.
I told her that this is not the real cause of the problem. I informed her that she already know that it's the virus that was sending her those email messages. I explained to her that that virus randomly acquires email adresses from the net and it sends emails to those addresses. But, then again, she told me she trusts her "gut feelings". Gut feelings it is.
