SWEN virus/worm now posing as bounced email
jamie wrote ...
Would everyone who uses Outlook please patch up their systems, and every Windows user who is not *absolutely* sure that their antivirus is up to date, please get an update and scan your machine. I received more than 200 copies of SWEN worm/virus emails in the last 24 hours, coming from about twenty infected PCs, all coming to the email address I use only for newsgroups. Are you sure it's from people here and not one of those annoying viruses that forges the 'from' lines? Spambots have picked up all the unmunged email addresses of anyone who's ever posted to a newsgroup. If you get spam to that email account, then it's probably fairly safe to assume that the headers are forged in the virus emails. Rachel (New Zealand) |
