VIRUS ALERT
Hi, Just got an e-mail from a fellow member who I have had no previous contact with containing a worm type virus.
luckily AVG virus scan picked it up straight away. It did have an attachment with it so I was suspicous at once.
For goodness sake please make sure you have all got a good virus scan downloaded.
The AVG scan is free so thre is no excuse!
Dean !!!!!

Who was it?
Maybe they ought to be warned more directly...
(You probably have, but hey I said it anyway...)

Hi ,Done that already, no need to mention names.
Thought at first it was someone that had taken a comment the wrong way at Newark, but I'm sure it was not personal.Shit happens!
Please try and educate everyone you all have contact with.
Thanks. Dean .

Hi, I didn't mean you had sent it on purpose,sorry if you thought I was having a dig, I definately was not.
I spoke to hundreds of people at Newark because I was helping Martin on the MK stand all weekend.Talking to loads of people about Indy's and locosts
all day I'm bound to have said something someone disagreed with even if not intentional.
Hope this makes my comments a little clearer,perhaps I should have mentioned this to start with.
All the best,Dean.

I'd blame Liam...
It may have been you that shouted at him when he decided to measure the width of the Indy chassis....

No,it wasn't,but it was quite funny.
Actually it was Martins dad.
Martins business and livelihood ,not to mention his workforce make a living from his chassis development,and quality of construction.
MK are always helpful but surely you can understand their apprehension when someone gets a tape measure out.
A lot of people wish their suspension worked as well as an Indy,certainly a couple of manufacturers anyway.
Perhaps Liam sells his findings to other manufacturers on the quiet to suppliment his income(only joking Liam).I'm sure no harm was done except to
Liams pride perhaps.
Anyway stop writing and get building you lot or your cars will nver get finished.
No mine's not finished either before anyone says anything.
Keep smiling, Dean.

BOB,I just use Yahoo usually and type in AVG.
But I have had a look and try this for the free download. www.WebAttack.comm and the main site is www.grisoft.comm
Hope this helps.

Helloooo
Wasn't me honest - I run Norton and wouldn't do that to anybody anyway.
I fully understand that Martin wants to protect his designs and I know what a helpful guy he is (he sold me some of his nice oval wishbone tube so
mine will hopefully look as cool as his, didn't mark it up and he cut it up for free).
I did think I was pounced on a bit quickly though. It was obvious I only measured the width of the chassis and the potential width of a wheel arch of
a sierra-width car (no major secrets there). Sure if I started measuring up his suspension geometry, I'd have rightfully deserved a good telling
off, but I'm designing my own thanks.
No hard feelings at all though. I guess the 'strictly no tape measures' policy is the easiest way to make sure nobody measures up anything secret
on the sly.

Surely, if a major competitor wanted to know the geometry of an indy, they could afford a grand an look at one to their hearts content?
bit of an over reaction perhaps?

tis ok to download it........
the thing to look for is E~mails with attachements, especially from people you don't expect them from, i sused the AVG auto download now, mine was
set up for 7am every morning, i'm never online then, thats why my version was 6 months old and not up to date as i thought it was......if you aint
got AVG get it........now

I notice that the virus is still flying around - one arrived in my inbox last night.
I deleted it immediately so didn't find out the originator.
Please - everyone get a virus checker! AVG is free, and only takes a little while to download.
cheers,
David

Norton should be OK mate.

Stick with Norton Antivirus I suggest. It's a good product. As you've got ISDN you can set it up to LiveUpdate the latest virus definitions whenever
you want and therefore keep up to date.
Also, make sure the Autoprotect option is turned on.
Cheers,

is that when it arrived, or when you open'd it ? i have just ran AVG again to double check and i am bug free, full system check, came up clean with
latest updates installed.....what more can i do ? cos i certanly have neve e~mail'd Mr Fista, don't know the guy, don't know is address......
oh, just point worth noting....at that time, on the 20th, 19.44, I WAS OFFLINE with Metal hippy checkin out a donor car, BMW M5 in a mates yard at
Clay Cross derbyshire, i know if you have a virus your pc can send out e~mails willy nilly, but i would have thought it need'ed at least to be
switched on and on~line, IT WAS NEITHER.
