new virus posing as a password problem and a password recovery program is out. Delete it if you get it in your e-mail.

When Clinton left office they gave him a 21 gun salute. Its a damn shame they all missed....

    This morning I got hit with a virus. I do not know where it came from, but I was, among other places, on Gun Broker. It infected Internet Explorer.

    I suggest that you all run your virus programs and check for the virus. My virus program was not up to date and I did not find and remove the virus until I updated. I am still restoring my programs.

    The virus is: IE46BIN.exe.

    This a C&P of an email alert sent out by Jim Scoutten. It's self explanatory.

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Message from Jim Scoutten:

    Several Announcements:

    Virus Attempts:
    In the past week I've been getting messages on my computer from: staff@ShootingUSA.com and admin@ShootingUSA.com

    These are phony messages carrying virus attachments. My anti-virus software has killed them dead on arrival, but be warned you will never get a message from or about www.ShootingUSA.com from anyone but me. The sending address will always be: JimScoutten@ShootingUSA.com But apparently there is now enough traffic to the site that the hackers want to try some dirty tricks. Don't get sucked in by their efforts. And do keep your choice of anti-virus software up to date.

    One Other Note:
    Keep your e-mail address current and keep your anti-spam system authorized to receive messages from JimScoutten@ShootingUSA.com Our list software automatically kills-out addresses that bounce back as undeliverable. If you cancel your hotmail account or switch e-mail accounts you've got to re-register to keep getting e-mail. We can't update the list manually.

    Happier News:
    We've posted a photo of our contest winner with his S&W 500 Magnum at the site. Ken insists it's his new back up ankle gun.???!!!!!! Check it out on the home page www.ShootingUSA.com

    This Week's Show: End Of Trail - the Cowboy Action Shooting event of the year. (And the reason I walked like Duke Wayne for about 6 weeks after we were there.) Details and contact links at the website.

    Monday 8/23 7:00 PM Eastern / 4:00 PM Pacific
    Tuesday 8/24 2:30 AM Eastern / 11:30 PM Pacific (Monday)
    Friday 8/27 10:30 PM Eastern / 7:30 PM Pacific
    Saturday 8/18 1:30 AM Eastern / 10:30 PM Pacific (Friday)
    Sunday 8/29 9:30 AM Eastern / 6:30 AM Pacific

    Comments are always welcome.
