Virus warning

[Guy400]

Guys, I've just received 2 emails within the last 30 minutes. One was titled "Wicked screensavers" and the other was titled "My Details". Both of these emails had attachments. These are virus emails and I just happened to be warned today at work on our corporate email system about these very emails. Watch out, they're going around.

I got what I wanted for it.

[Striker49]

Thanks for the heads up. :)

I receive a handful of emails every week (not sure why or how) from random names and/or people listed in my address book. They all contain attachments that have Klez32 in it. :confused2 MSN wont do anything, Ive email them twice and they just gave me some go-by-the-book thing that says to have anti-virus software :rolleyes: The emails are between 110K-150K.

Anyways, thanks again. :D

[Guy400]

Just got another titled "Thank You".

It's a virus that spreads itself through Outlook and then causes your computer to send other computers spam email.

[Rip_Tear]

This is a very good reason to have Norton or another anti-virus program! :D I have the newest version of Norton and it catches almost all viruses, but I would never download a file from a random person, or anything that wasn't regular in looks... like if it doesn't sound right, or there are odd charactures in the email, just delete it, like whats the worst that could happen, or save the whole email to disk, delete it off your computer, then if it turns out that someone sent it to you on purpose, you can retrive it :D

[400exmom]

i scanned them cuz i thought they look odd and someone told me one time that virus's are usually in attachments-i deleted them w/out opening them so are they gone for good? or does my computer need to go to the clinic??:ermm:

[blondie69]

i've opened a couple of those type of emails accidently....but i didn't open the attachement....will i still get a virus??:confused2

[Guy400]

400exmom, go into your "Deleted Items" folder if you're using Outlook or Outlook Express and shift+delete the emails so they're gone.

blondie69, you should be alright as long as you didn't open the attachment.

I just got another email. Same virus but now titled "That Movie". I'm running Norton but it's not an updated version of it and my email server has anti-virus protection but this is somehow getting through. I usually get an email from my ISP saying they deleted an email intended to go to me but was found to contain a virus.

No Joke, I received about 40 of those Virus emails on Monday, and over 300 yesterday. It took an hour to get all my mail and I have a high speed connection. I basically had to download over 30mb of virus files.

I usually try to delete them before I download my mail, but there were just too many. I having even tried to check the mail yet today. Who knows, I may have over 500 today.

I was wondering if I was just getting them because everyone I asked locally hasn't received one yet.

[CHAUNCY]

I got like 2 only. One was titled my info and another thank you. They both got deleted:)

i didn't want to start a new thread but there is another worm out there, it came out on August 18th, we got it, it has been removed... but so far it is still unheard of, some people did even know about it... any ways i just want to give you a head up...

i believe the worm is callled W32.Welchia.Worm
it will Delete files: msblast.exe
causes system instability
Compromises security settings....

it came out on the 18th and they just go protection system for it on the 20th...

I just read this morning that this was the fastest spreading virus ever. One out of every 17 emails sent was this virus and that's why so many of us have been getting these. This virus also plants a Trojan Horse in your PC where they can they use your personal email to send out spam to people.

[660LE]

Ive been gettin a crap load of them saying "your approved" or other stuff like that an then it says read attached file,
gutta love norton antivirus when it catches this chit!

This i what I read as well, and my computer is doing all the things they netioned in the newspaper,I called MSN and asked them about it and they were totally clueless:huh They told me I didnt have anything to owrry about with WINME but I dunno, seems like its a little too coinsident, now if I could just get my Norton to enable:mad:

[Glow Plug]

Uh...im not pointing anyfingers but...it seems like anyone who is on aol and they are on their buddy list, it spreads to them


How do you get this trojan outta here?!?:mad:

[Guy400]

You shouldn't have the Trojan Horse on your PC unless you opened one of the attachments. I just received 48 emails, all were these virus emails that I already spoke of:mad:

All the ones I've received have come in the form of replies, like I originally sent these emails out. I know for a fact that I haven't opened any of the suspect emails.

[BlazingYamahaYz]

i am having the EXACT same problem.........at least 40 today and yesterday, and i have yahoo, all with "Re: Your Details" and $h!t like that, and my dad has outlook express and has gotten at least 30.......SOB spammers:mad: all have gotten permantly deleted:)

[QuadJunkies]

Everyone keep an eye on Your Noron to make usre it is enabled. Mine got Disabled...:mad: I retored my computer back a month then had to add hawking tool to my desktop to re-do my Norton.What a pain in the ***.....:grr: I havent got any more returned email and STILL Tech support tells me they have no clue about this topic??Give me a break! Im hoping I have isolated my probelm.cross your fingers.....:confused:

[Natertot426ex]
