Re: [Simmons Drums] Got a virus through the newsgroup !

2005-06-06 by biergoat3

Hi Folks, It seems that someone is using my name, I did not send an email with a virus 
attached. I did correspond with Patrice a while back about the schematics (last year I 
think). I am not using Windows or a PC and have never received a virus from this group. Is 
there anything I can do to prevent this from happening in the future?? Cheers to you all,
Jeff
