Thumbs up

Mmmmm . . .

I downloaded ZA and set it up so it doesn't block ICQ or DialPad - oh yes, and McAfee Clinic too! Not too much activity spotted here, but I do seem to get "pinged" every now and then - who'd want MY data!!??!!

Got an interesting email this morning from someone with pseudonym "Arora" with an ISP that appears to be in GMT+5 (didn't think I knew anyone there!) and an attachment caled "Pretty Park.exe"

Ran the attachment through virus checker - no bad reports - but due to the circumstances of its arrival, I'm still not gonna run it!

Did "Arora" ([email protected]) get my name from someone else's circulation list? or perhaps there's another way that this can happen (the email address that I use normally is NOT the one that I use in "profiles", although that one is genuine too)

Any comments?? I'm rather intrigued!

Hey, I just got "pinged" again and noticed that the IP address ot the ping starts with the same two groups of digits as "Arora" - "212.100 . . ." I believe IP addresses are allocated on a roughly geographical basis - does that mean anything???
