Confused
Iregularly receive emails that contain a blank subject line and a blank message body. No attachments just a seemingly empty e-mail. These usually come from some obscure Yahoo account. I have looked at the email; using a variety of hex/text editors and usually they contain some hex codes and a lot of null characters. Can anyone tell me what these might be? They don’t seem to have enough coding in them to be worms, Trojans or virus.

Hi t28storm,

I personally, regard ALL e-mail as potentially dangerous/harmful. You don't get something for nothing, except with e-mail, then the something is bad.

Suggest you go to our Download Section http://computercops.biz/downloads-cat-12.html and look at the Filters. I use MailWasher Pro and Benign. There is a trial period of thirty days on these products so, if you don't like, you don't lose anything. FAQ's on Firetrust site: http://www.firetrust.com/support/?PHPSE...5b9c414dbe and support forums here at CCSP.
