New shitty virus running like crazy

[TTinCO]

It propagates via email & the payload is a virus loaded zip file.

Update your virus scanners tonight & don't open any zip files that you are not expecting.

 

[kookoo]

just got that dam thing will Norton kill it

 

[mvbski]

does it have a message in the subject ? or how else can I identify it

 

[NICKYTHEFISH]

TT thanks for your help a while back.Ended up all I had to do was update spybot and it took care of it all.

 

[RPM]

thanks for the heads up ttin!~

The message may be "Hello", but it may change.

The key thing to look for is a zip file from a bogus looking email address. DON"T unzip the file-you will be fine.

If you update your virus scanner tonight, you should be fine-this one "came out" this afternoon.

thanks ttinco I dont ever open anything from anyone I dont know anyway but I'll update just to be safe

This should be common sense!!!! ..never open up an email from anyone you do not know..ESPECIALLY if it has a ATTACHMENT...

 

[TTinCO]

Yeah....you would think so.

 

[TTinCO]

FYI.....Subject lines also vary. The attachments have ".exe," ".scr," ".cmd" or ".pif" extensions, and may be compressed as a Zip file.


If you don't know, DON"T OPEN SHIT!

Good info on the virus

Dante, worms can come from people you trust, on your email list. #1 rule, always scan before you put anything on your HD

Thanks for the warning.

I am getting pounded this AM. A dozen attempts so far. I just delete immediately. So far the virus software has caught them all.
