I dont normally spread Viri alerts but on this occasion I'm instigating one.

I use my "real" email address here and it's the only open place that I do.
a while back the aussieveedubber site was sniffed and some of us got junk mail.

This morning I have 4 emails all containing Viri.

So if you have any mails from big@boss.com (Which is a fake address) dont open them.

I have traced the source of the emails and inform the appropriate ISP in the UK, but as it's a worm the party who sent it may not even know about it.

Anyway Nortons picks it up, dont know about the others but NOW might be a good time to update your definitions.

Anyway hope this helps someone.

BTW info on the specific Virus involved can be found at: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.sobig.a@mm.html 

I got that one too fatboy, fortunately in my yahoo mail which scans if you ask it to... I figured it looked like a virus anyway before I scanned it. What sorta person opens a .doc file from someone they don't know?? *shrugs*

Nice to know where it came from

See you Sunday at the jamboree?

Nortons quarantines mine if something is detected but have not had anything from this address sent to me

I find the developers & speaders of viruses very boring, wish they'd get a life and not do this to people
