Re: [IRCA] (OT) Spam

[BARRY DAVIES <barry.davies25@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Paul
Last week I was checking program details on 1060 XEEP Radio Educations web site and was bitten by a Trojan infection.  McAfee full  scan did not shift it and finally killed it with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free. Lost my records. Fortunately key ones stored off site. What kind of guys get their kicks from spoiling others enjoyment.

Best wishes

Wayne says that the NRC listserv was a bit delayed after a move and some maintenance, but I don't know about the IRCA listserve. Again, my apologies for any inconvenience -pls.

This isn't the first time that my e-mail address has been spoofed, but it's probably the most extensive hack I've experienced since 1994, when I set up this e-mail account with AOL.
