poind Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/internet/09/1...reut/index.html As long as you just use the delete key, you shouldn't be infected. Just keep your AV and WindowsUpdate stuff current. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicane-UK Veteran Posted September 23, 2003 Veteran Share Posted September 23, 2003 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 :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busdude Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 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. 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 :).

ServaCom Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 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.
