Welcome to the newly moved access-uk list.  NOTE:  Leaving instructions, etc., 
are at the very end of this message.

Thanks George,

I think you are right in saying that law should be different making reckless
behaviour in operating such system without taking necessary measures as
criminal offence, but policing such law would be quite difficult and
probably the law makers would think it would be a waste of time to implement
such law and we would be back to where we started.  Having said that, there
are some move towards this with the fast grove of technology.



Thank you.

Hi Ali,

This is as a result of worms which get into someone's system, and send
messages all over the place, purporting to come from the harvested
address book entries.

It may come as a surprise to you, but there are are hundreds of
thousands of reckless people out there, who do not even make the effort
take the most basic of precautions to protect their systems.

Perhaps the law should be turned round, such that it is a criminal
offence to operate a computer - without due care and attention.

You're the legal expert - what do YOU think?

George.

Subject: (Access-UK) - Confusing virus message?


Hello all,
I hope someone can give me some idea what this is.
For the last couple of days, I have been receiving emails from
people or
companies which are not in my address book saying that I have
sent them
e-mail message with attachment containing virus.  I checked my
system for
viruses and got clean bill of health.  I checked my sent item
box but there
is no sign of these e-mails are sent from me.  Now I am not sure
what is
going on here.  I would be grateful if anyone tells me what is
going on?

Thank you.
