WARNING: Virus in the Prince community, check your computers Hey all,
Ive been recieving emails all day from people I dont know personally but I recognise the addresses from some people's user names here. All the emails, though allegedly from different people, have the same content: Subject Line: Re: your approval Text: Please check out the attached file The attatched file is a virus, do not open it  . Ive emailed all the people that it got sent to me via to warn them & hopefully this thread gets to anyone else. If you have it, be sure to warn everyone in your email address book cos thats how it gets around.
God bless Lewis | |

A new variant of W32/Sobig, W32/Sobig.f@MM is a High Risk mass-mailing worm. It arrives as an email attachment with a .pif or .scr extension. When run, it infects the host computer, then emails itself (using its own SMTP engine) to harvested email addresses from the victim's machine. In addition, when it propagates, the worm "spoofs" the "from: field", using one of the harvested email addresses.
Note: The worm copies itself onto the infected machine as: C:\WINNT\WINPPR32.EXE Caution: An infected email can come from addresses you recognize and may contain the following information: WHAT TO LOOK FOR: Subject: [content varies] - Your details - Thank you! - Re: Thank you! - Re: Details - Re: Re: My details - Re: Approved - Re: Your application - Re: Wicked screensaver - Re: That movie Body: [content varies] - See the attached file for details - Please see the attached file for details Attachment: [content varies] - your_document.pif - document_all.pif - thank_you.pif - your_details.pif - details.pif - document_9446.pif - application.pif - wicked_scr.scr - movie0045.pif [This message was edited Wed Aug 20 16:02:18 PDT 2003 by madartista] http://elmadartista.tumblr.com/ http://twitter.com/madartista | |
