Virus from Latinbest e mail

[Ken Power]

I was surprised to hear that another person other then myself contracted a virus from Latinbest.  I was send a letter entitled "PAckage Cost"  it contained a worm trans B virus that enabled the author to steal credit card / pass words.  Also the address it was sent from had a _ in front of it.  It looked like this _Latinbest@etc.   Be careful and dont download anything.  Iwas sent 2 songs.

Ken,

I contacted Luz about the virus problem. She knows about it, and I gave her some suggestions. She said she will look out for the problem, but I don't know if she realizes the seriousness of this problem.

Have you contacted her? If not, I think you should so she will realize that she is accidently sending viruses to many people, and she should correct the problem as soon as possible.

Aaron,

 I am under the impression that someone steals (uses) Latinbests address as a cover. (I dont know enough about computers to say) Latinbest has no power of a "forgery" if you will.  However,  I did tell her someone did this about a week ago.  So, they are aware.  

I was able to go to virus scan and run a free check and find the name of the virus WORM TRANS B.  I then went to Mcafee and used instructions form there site to remove it.  Careful with any mail with a _ in front of it.  Like _Latinbest@etc
