June 21, 200421 yr Hi all,I've been offline for near 3 weeks now since my HD went kaput. I now have a replacement, and upon checking my emails, I've received 37 emails which contain the W32/Netsky-Z virus.It's come from many unknown adds, but also from some known ones i.e. [email protected] and [email protected] worm/virus is sent as an attachment along with the email, with the subject being either one of the following:DocumentHelloHiImportantInformationPlease get your virus checkers updated, to prevent the spread of this virus even more, because currently it's spreading like wildfire.Thanks
June 21, 200421 yr Only 37 in 3 weeks ??????Consider yourself lucky...Since sept. last year, I get about 150 worms/virusmails a day, which, in a joint effort between my ISP and my virusscanner, are easy to get rid of. Just annoying..And don't mind the orginator of the mail: about 99% of all worm/virus Emails these days have a spoofed originator...Makes me wish we are back in the good-old DOS days, when virusses just ruined your harddrive content. So we wouldn't be bothered by all those idiots today that refuse to protect there PC properly :-(Rob Barendregt
June 21, 200421 yr The addresses it appears to come from are all harvested from the email systems of infected computers.The trojan just goes through your inbox and sends itself to every address you ever communicated with (or the first X it finds depending on version).
June 21, 200421 yr " So we wouldn't be bothered by all those idiots today that refuse to protect there PC properly :-("Pretty annoying. Those who actually have the virus probably don't even know they do and are "blissfully unaware" :-lol of the problems they create. -

June 22, 200421 yr Author Hi,>And don't mind the orginator of the mail: about 99% of all>worm/virus Emails these days have a spoofed originator......and that's pretty annoying. I get a lot of (automated response) mail claiming that I had sent mails containing the said virus. And I've been away from computers the whole previous week! :(Regards,Jurehttp://www.globecargo.org/images/VAA_Captain.jpg
