Recieving Dodgy E-Mails


Recommended Posts

For the past few days i've been recieving dodgy e-mail they are meant to be from MS but they are not they contain attachements and i also get this e-mail that says message delivery fromother address when i've not e-mailed anyone is this a virus or is this something else.

I scanned my machine with the latest Symantec AV updates and nothing is there a patch to this?

Looks like someones got a virus and you were in there addressbook. The virus is being sent out from there comp and there spoofing the senders mail with your address insted. email all your friends and tell em to scan for viruses !

Hope this helps

I've been getting stacks of the damn things for days and days and its driving me nuts.

Combined with the spam which I now seem to recieve regularly, I am getting about 30 or 40 unwanted emails per day.. and about 20 of those are virii.

God.. something really needs to get sorted about virus's and unsolicited email - its slowly and surely ruining the internet :(

in the last five days, NAV has picked up the "Worm.Automat.AHB" virus 23 times in my e-mail. It seems that every time i go to download e-mail i get it a couple of times, and its starting to get irratating.

I would create a rule (I haven?t seen this virus in my box, so I am not sure on the subject, or body, of the message) to permanently delete any messages that come in with the major key fields of the virus. Also on the spam problem, download cloudmark and create rules with common spam rules like ?Viagra" and other things I cannot say in this bo:)d :).

I have had 2 of these e-mails which were caught by NAV2003.

Then they were followed by 2 messages saying some filename was undeliverable(?)

One of the first viruses I have had, must be a widespread one then.
