Friend is driving me nuts swearing that google has sent him 3 worm viruses in email attachments. the mail headers have google ip addresses and one email " look as if he sent mail to someone at google but it bounch back to him.
He will not beleive that a mail header can be faked and if your smart enough you could just hack in and use someones mail server.
any comments or suggestion for this dope. I had to tell him to shut up about it cause he wont beleive me but keeps going on about it.
Never argue with a fool,
a bystander can't tell you apart.

sure tell him to get a memory resident anti-virus and these emails will never be allowed to open or execute their payloads .. also let him know that these worms are sent via email and when you get infected they send to everyone in your address book so if a person gets one and has an entry for googlegear in the addy book it might look like it came from there

Those virusses can come from anywhere... I sometimes get them from people I don't even know and don't have me in their address list. And I know somebody who got such virusses and he got a reply from somebody he didn't know that he send a virus to him. Those virusses just behave strange.
