YellowFever unregistered Posts: 3047 From: United States Registered: JUL 2000	posted 06-27-2003 02:24 PM A couple of our folks are reporting getting emails with an attachment on it and only one short message. It hasn't caught any of us but, I know several folks in here don't have anti-virus software or firewalls. The title of these emails so far has either been 1) Re: Application 2) Re: Movie (expect other titles) All, so far, make it look like they are responding to something you emailed out. The message only says something like, "Unzip this file and review". Attached is a zip file of various names. It's a replicating virus so if you don't have anti-virus software or a firewall to block it, Don't OPEN it. If you do, you shouldn't be getting it but, if you have hotmail or yahoo or other generic emails, you may get it there. In any event, if you get an email with only an attachement from someone you don't know, save yourself the trouble and just delete it.

Have had the same virus sent to same email address about 6 months or less ago. Caught it then too. ------------------ Mickey 1997 Plymouth Prowler #156 Mopar front splash guards Real Rod stainless steel transmission cooler cover 1992 Plymouth Grand Voyager SE Longhorn scratches Boomerschlobber This message has been edited by idive on 07-04-2003 at 12:47 PM
idive Prowler Junkie Posts: 8483 From: Texas USA Registered: APR 2003	posted 07-04-2003 12:48 PM Bringing back up - I got this virus again later that day and yet once again a couple days later. The last time the subject was movies. After the last attack I couldn't get into my inbox in email til I rebooted. The email stayed on the server and I couldn't download any more emails without getting it again and had to call my ISP to ask them to take it off their server. Each time Norton caught it. Be cautious out there. This thing is floating around quite alot appearantly. ------------------ Mickey 1997 Plymouth Prowler #156 Mopar front splash guards Real Rod stainless steel transmission cooler cover 1992 Plymouth Grand Voyager SE Longhorn scratches Boomerschlobber
