Hi Dopmi, I am concerned to hear about this, but first, my email address is wgardus@..., not wgardus@yahoogroups.com. I do not respond directly to people's posts unless they first contact me directly. This specific post you mentioned was one that I responded to, but again, I responded directly to the post, with my response going back to the group's email address, not a specific user. I have sent many emails this week, and have Norton running on my PC, so it does appear that someone is trying to look 'like' me, but they are not me. Also, the way Yahoo mail works, any attachments are scanned by Norton AV before Yahoo mail allows them to be attached to an email, so I do not know how this could come from anyone using Yahoo mail (yahoogroups.com is not a Yahoo email domain). To the general membership, I would warn everyone that if you receive anything from a wgardus@yahoogroups.com, it is not me, and as has been pointed out in these notes - it may well contain a virus. I will certainly answer any questions that anyone may have on this issue - I do not want my name or reputation associated with this type of activity in any way! To our Moderator, can we ask you to block this wgardus@yahoogroups.com email address, and if appropriate, report this activity to the Yahoo Groups support people?
