Worm Virus

[minornut]

Is anyone-else getting plagued by emails with the worm virus W32/Sober.AH.worm or is it just me?

[pgm]

only about 2000 of them a day

[ZR1cliff]

My Norton picked it up aswell just recently,do you use "Photobucket" by any chance?

All nicely filtered out before it gets to the server I download from. Most of the spam too.

I haven't seen an email virus for years now

I use Mailwasher (free download) to delete all spam, which is where the viruses come from.

i keep gettin mail with zip attachements

[pgm]

ours have stopped today so ISP must be filtering them out now

I keep getting the 'Verify your Barclays account' (about 5 a day)

[minornut]

All of them have a zip attached.
My anti-virus is blocking them but they keep interrupting my 'work'.
I've had them from the fbi, the cia and all sorts from all over the world but only one from a customer.

The furthest I can trace it to is a machine in Bursa, Malaysia.

As I understand it, if you open one to see what it is, they somehow know you've done it so they're know you're 'live' and send you more shit.

Yep tis true and


Don't use mailwasher it will just add to you getting more of the spam stuff

[Marshy]

If you get this stuff at work, pester your IT people to try something like MessageLabs or BlackSpider (or similar...). Outsourced, and ever so easy to bolt on to an existing corporate e-mail system assuming it's not already brain-dead in some way...
