Derek Henderson Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 I opened up an email from Oviinbyrd, the image has lots of images attached. I would like to know if these attached unwanted images are from that latest email or have I been hijacked. Thanks Derek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDoors Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Maybe I shouldn't jump in until others who know what "oviinbyrd" is have had a chance but attached images in e-mail are sometimes just a side-effect of the way an e-mail was sent. If you know the sender and the e-mail content is what you expected there is no reason to open those attachments as they simply duplicate what's in the body of the e-mail.

How about your antivirus?Did you save the attatchment and scan it with your antivirus prior to opening it?This sounds suspiciously like one of the jpg buffer overflow viruses .
