Bowzone newsletter

[cdn-redneck]

Has Bowzone sent out a newsletter in the last day or two? I have one in my email and it is very suspect. My wife may have opened it, and my comp is not working. I can't get my internet to open, and when I try to check that email Outlook freezes up. This Particular email looks nothing like what I have seen before. Warden can you tell if we have been hacked? Hopefully I can figure it out.

This is what the newsletter looked like that we sent out a day or two ago...

What did yours look like? Was there an attachment? I know I don't have any viruses on the server or on my system..(I'm too anal when it comes to virus protection sometimes)....LOL! Post up what it looks like cdnredneck...



Sorry I can't break up the US and Canadian Members for this but it's a good read.

I got this e-mail from Kelly Semple from The Hunting For Tomorrow Foundation and thought you all should have a read.


Ladies and Gents,

Well, Mountain Equipment Coop (MEC) has done it again. A couple years back when discussion started about possibly turning Spray Valley into a Provincial Park, MEC supported an environmental group (antis) who petitioned the push to turn the area into a Provincial Park. Many of us fought against this proposal (proposing a Wildland Park) and in the end, lost the area to a Provincial Park and saw the end of hunting in that area.
MEC has once again supported an Anti-hunting group that is asking Albertans to write letters to Ralph Klein to stop the Grizzly hunt in Alberta. Many of us have seen these adds already.
I stopped by MEC today to see firsthand what this group is doing. By 1:00 pm they had hundreds of people stop by their booth ( which is set up at the entrance of MEC) and agree to write letters to Klein in opposition to the Alberta Grizzly Hunt. There were posters all over the store supporting this group. It was depressing and made me sick to my stomach. I asked to speak to the manager of MEC. I told the manager that I was very disappointed in the stores decision to support this anti-hunting group and told him that this was the last time I would step foot in a MEC Store. I've also written a letter to Ralph Klein, Mike Cardinal and my MLA congratulating them on their decision to continue the grizzly hunt in Alberta, I've written MEC to let them know I would no longer be shopping in their stores as long as they continue to support the Antis, I'm sending this e-mail to every person on my e-mail list and asking them to do the same.

I encourage, no I urge you to send e-mails and/or write letters to our government representatives and let them know they are doing the right thing. Let stores like MEC know that you won't support their business if they continue to support Anti-hunting groups. I'm not telling you where you should or shouldn't shop, but this is something we can do to make a difference.

I know I've sat on my hands long enough, let's show these Antis how strong the hunting community in Alberta really is! Pass this e-mail on to everyone on your list, spread it on website chat rooms and at the hunting stores, get the word out. E-mail can be a powerful thing.

This spring Grizzly season may be the last one in Alberta, if we don't make a stand now for what we believe in.

I'm using another comp in the house right now. My regular one is hooped and I am trying to figure this out. My Norton won't pick up a virus and I can't get it online to do a check with www.pccillin.com so I have unplugged my network cable just in case there is a virus to keep from send it onto others. I can't get my Explorer to open and my email freezes up. I will get this figured out here soon I hope otherwise it will be fromat time :( .

Redneck,
Go to the Norton or McAfee site and download "Stinger". You may have to do this from a computor that is not infected, if this is the case, save it to disk so that you can run it in the infected computor. Run Stinger on the said computor. This should clear any of the recent viruses that are currrently circulating around the 'net from your machine
You can also find "Stinger" on the support page of shaw.ca and it probably is on the telus site although I've not seen it there.
Good Luck!

I just finished a virus scan on the bowzone server as well as all 3 of my machines here at the house and I have no viruses at all. I'm now 100% positive that it didn't come from the bowzone newsletter...Sorry I can't be of more help man. :( Hope you get her fixed.

Cdn-redneck,

How did you make out with your computor problem? Did you get it resolved and if so, what was the problem and how did you cure it?

I had to format my computer :( . I couldn't figure out what it was. It seemeed that there was some kind of problem in my email program, as well as Internet Explorer. I tried everything I could think of to get it working, but with no luck. Oh well I am back up to speed know. Thanks for the advice and help.
