Wildcat,

I just emailed you. I hope we can just agree to enjoy this forum together and keep it positive.
You are right. I have left the site until the other day when someone got a hold of me and said I might want to take a look. And then again tonight saying I gave someone a virus and broke into their computer via email!!!
It is going to take you and the rest of the people here keeping it positive and not bashing on each other to make this forum work again.
By judging, jumping on people, ect it is just going to stay stagnant.

I am taking a break from the forum and will probably come back sometime. For right now, I don't want to lurk or post. I am just emailing a couple people from here and taking some time to myself.

I hope you all will get this place humming again with great support, and helping to keep it a sanctuary for everyone.

I am trying to be nice here. But come on lets not dance around what you said.
You SAID, I got an Email from ***@**** which is Chezz and it had a VIRUS in it.
You never mentioned Chezz2. What the heck does that have to do with the price of tea in china,anyway. I had to change my name here just like a couple other people. That has nothing to do with my yahoo mail account. And I won't be changing it. All that person did is get the 3 digit code here for some names.
My email is my email. And everybody knows it here if they read my posts. They also know who Chezz is. You didn't say the idiot who has been messing around here.
So you were SIMPLY saying I sent you a virus. I didn't jump to any conclusions.
You also didn't even scan you system for a virus. You just said it LOOKED like one. So, like I said, please be SURE before you go saying stuff like that.
You also said I may have tried to mess around on your computer. How in the heck is that possible from sending you an email. You might need to rethink that one.

Furthermore, if I ever send anyone an email I hope they have the respect to let me know so I can check my system for a worm or a virus too. That is how they travel, is via email without the senders knowledge.

Lastly, can we please leave this out of the forum. We have had enough go on here already. Let be cordial and email each other if you want to discuss this.
It looks like the forum is getting back on its feet and is a HAPPY place to be now. I would like to see it that way. It is a GREAT place to be when it is like that.

The last email I sent you was to apoligize and say lets leave it at that. So I hope we can. I enjoyed our correspondence prior to all of this and I hope we can continue on like that, or just move forward and continue to enjoy this forum.

Chezz2,

I never accused you personally. In fact, remember someone was using your name and easily could have used your email or my email if they read it since we both posted it.

I do have a firewall but they aren't absolute.
Norton utilities has a great way of setting one up and a good warning system as well.

You may want to change your email name so the person using your name before can't use it. I was simply saying there was an email that was red-flagged, meaning (watchout for viruses). The other email just under it was also from the same name and posted at the same time with the apology and it was very readable. You asked for forgiveness. I even responded back to you with an I forgive you message both email and a post on the forum if you don't recall. It was deleted the following morning because of other negative stuff on the same thread.

So please don't jump to conclusions, I am just telling another poster what happened to my email when she mentioned what happened to hers. I never mentioned your name Chezz2 or accused you of being the imposter.

I certainly am not paranoid or I never would have given you my email in the first place.

Take care,

Chatahan

Chatahan,

Please stop accusing me of stuff on here. I am getting tired of reading them.

Hippy as well as a couple other people got the same exact email. It was copied and pasted from word. It was an apoligy for accusing you of messing with the forum and my email.
If you like ask Hippy, Suzie or Peagravel(love the new name Deb ;).     In fact Peagravel emailed me back and said she couldn't read it either.

So once again please stop accusing me unless you know for sure that i gave you a virus. Trying to get people all worried for nothing is ridiculous.
You might also think about not being so paranoid and use a virus scanner and a simple firewall.
www.zonealarm.com is free. It is also the one I use. I also was pming with Suzie today trying to help her set it up so she is better protected as well. Set all of the settings to high and you should be fine.

Mariposa,

Yes, there is someone playing with emails from Yahoo, on my computer it read ***@**** which is Chezz email he sent a couple of weeks ago. I already posted this but the thread was erased very quickly yesterday.

One of the mails had a virus planted so I deleted it and went into my history and secondary backup files to erase it. I even checked my DOS settings but everything was okay there. One post from him was saying he was leaving the site for a while until things calm down and get back to normal, and then the other was red flagged and just a bunch of jibberish of letters and numbers, typical of a virus. Luckily I did not have to completely open it so I didn't get infected. Just a pain to have to watch so carefully. I don't leave email on my list so he probably would have been bored to try to read anything.

He may have tried to access other portions of the computer so be careful and change passwords frquently and have different ones for different operations of your computer. It will help protect your file folders and email, etc.

Hope this helps,

Chatahan
