Virus alert (Novarg/MyDoom) |
 |
A major virus is out there, read more at.
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.novarg.a@mm.html
W32.Novarg.A@mm is a mass-mailing worm that arrives as an attachment with the file extension .bat, .cmd, .exe, .pif, .scr, or .zip.
Many of the virusinfectred mail often contains an error message like this:
The message cannot be represented in 7-bit ASCII encoding and has been sent as a binary attachment
Thought you might like to know...  Martin |

Already received it on three email addresses. It indeed goes quite fast Eventhough, it doesn't become active until you open the attachment, and I guess most people are aware of the fact that you shouldn't open attachments but should save and scan them first.

If no one wrote viruses, the anti-virus companies would be put out of business. I think they write the viruses themselves, just to sell their products. Sounds logic to me  |
