Re: Dilibrate VIRUS Attack!
The virus was embedded in an HTML document that was titled Space Empires.html
The virus detection software deleted it and I did not click more info so I do not know what it was specifically. I honestly thought it was just another worm virus randomly emailed. When I saw that it was addressed specifically to me, with space empires file attachement I was shocked.
Yes I have the email and name of the person who alledgedly sent the email, but that could easily be some pretending to be that person so I chose to keep the name private.
I mean why send a virus using your own name? The guy is either a genius or incredibly short sided. So I figure the name an email address, although linked, may just be an attempt to hide the real senders identity.
Either way it is most distrubing.

Re: Dilibrate VIRUS Attack!
Thats what I don't like about emails you cant tell who sent them for sure. The whole system should be reworked to be more secure becuase of things like this and more and more people are using email instead of normal mail. There is no way to completely code a brand new system and get everything and everyone to use it though.

Re: Dilibrate VIRUS Attack!
This would be incredibly ironic if it was simply your virus scanner being paraniod.

Re: Dilibrate VIRUS Attack!
Atrocities, I just sent you an e-mail apologizing for the virus sent to you . I enjoy everything you have done for SEIV in general and this mod in particlular and would not do anything to hurt you or anyone ,but to accuse someone of being a diabolical mastermind focusing on just you is ludicruss . I e-mailed you because you requested my game files because I was have a problem with the game which I thanked you for as you helped me out once before .Everyone out there reading this has more knowledge about computers and software in your little pinkies than I have all toghther . Please forgive my babbling and spelling as I'm very upset at the moment. By the way my e-mails do state that " all attachments are protected by macafree securities" and I do have the Norton's software installed in my computer . So please take my word that nothing was done intentioally and I'm sorry for any inconvience I've caused you , Atrocities
