January 3, 200323 yr Who sent out the E-mail: Forum@AVSIM: "Rights Reserved"? It contains the worm DZUY.zip.

January 3, 200323 yr These new virus/trojan's spoof the sender's email address. Basically, this means you were not sent a virus from Avsim, but from an infected system that had Avsim, among many others (including you) in its address book....-JohnFull time Network Admin, and even "fuller" time simmer :)
January 3, 200323 yr Yep, I regularly receive a copy of Klez.h in the HoverSafe inbox and they are all "spoofed" origins -- that's how they work. Somebody out there is infected and doesn't realize it. This has been going on for over 6 months.I'm fortunate I can check my email right on my ISPs server and I can delete suspicious stuff without even downloading it.Undoubtedly, you'll get more.Calhover long and prosper
January 3, 200323 yr Cal:Well, fortunately my antivirus software is capable of snagging these things for me automatically, so all is well. I was just curious about the source.Alex ChristoffN562ZMinneapolis, [email protected] PowerSpec G426 PC running Windows 11 Pro 64-bit OS, Intel Core i7 11700K @ 3.60GHz 30 °C, 4089MB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 , ASUS TUF Z590-Plus Gaming motherboard, Samsung 870 EVO 2TB SSD, Samsung 750 EVO 500GB SSD, Acer Predator X34 34" curved monitor (external view), RealSim Gear G-1000 avionics suite, RealSim Gear GNS 450, Slavix Stay Level Custom Metal Panel, Honeycomb Alpha Yoke, Redbird Alloy THI, Saitek Combat Rudder Pedals.
January 3, 200323 yr >>Well, fortunately my antivirus software is capable of >snagging these things for me automatically, so all is well. But only if you religiously update your definitions and hopefully none of those nasty things get to you before there is an update from the AV software you use.Be safe, DON'T OPEN ATTACHMENTS!
