dreadpiraterobert Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Since I started reporting to SpamCom a few weeks ago I have started receiving daily viruses from unknown persons. These are not bulk mailings but are individually directed mail with fake headers (macrealty.com, winzip.com, rock.com...) The files are "more_party.scr" and "found_number_phone.rtf.scr" and I was wondering if anyone else is getting this... Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumpkin Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 There are more viruses than we know what to do with right now. As of yesterday, 10 new viruses have appeared since Friday (2/27). You need to keep your AV software up-to-date (and since updates are coming out daily, check in the AM and PM). You need to be suspicious of attachments. "Yourbuddy" has a great post listing attachment extensions to be wary of in this thread: http://forum.spamcop.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=551 It's not you, it's the whiney scri_pt kiddies who want media attention.

Merlyn Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Everyone is getting them. There seems to be a war going on between a few of the worm/virus creators see: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/3532009.stm or http://www.internet-magazine.com/news/view.asp?id=3941 or http://www.computerweekly.com/articles/art...Search=&nPage=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
