Hi chaps,

Some (oops.....I said the C word) keeps e-mailing me this virus from a spoof e-mail address (under the guise of Snow White & the Seven dwarves). From my miniscule knowledge of how these 'puter things work, someone has to be deliberatley sending it to my address (i.e stuart@scoobynet.co.uk)

Is there any way one of you very helpful IT chaps could have a look at the e-mail header and see if you can find out where it comes from?

Cheers

Email the header ,not the virus ;-). To me. I'll have a look but can't promise. Chances are it will be largely untraceable.

Cheers Alec, won't be able to do it until later on as I'm round at the ball & chain's at the moment so I've only got my webmail.

I'll have a look as well if you want Stuart.

It's a worm virus. Probably sent to all your contacts now as well.

Got Norton AntiVirus 2001 with the automatic live update gizmo so I'm all up-to-date. Haven't downloaded my mailbox yet as I'm using my webmail so 'hopfully' it won't have sent any further. Also got Norton Firewall running so in theory my PC should be a secure as a nuns chastity belt (no smart comments Dave )

Has anyone sent the boys round to see Mr Krz....Kruzi...Krzu...the bloke in Croatia yet?

I think it comes from the same user id all the time. Just block all mail from this user and save yourself the trouble. If you don't know how to do it, let us know and we'll help out.

Blocking e-mail from him sounds good!!

But you're gonna have to tell me how to do it!!

Blocking,

It depends on your mail host and client

Hotmail has a Junk senders list and so does Outlook.

You will have to read the FAQ for your mail provider

Nuns!!! Did someone mention nuns??? For God's sake don't let Father Jack hear you or it will start him off again!!

Stu, what email account are you receiving that on ? Can't be your stuart@22b.com cos the virusscan on my server bounces the hahaha@sexyfun/snowwhite emails.

Father Jack

Nuns? Who mentioned nuns?

Sorry Stu, I know this is a serious topic and being an IT bod myself (when I'm not on the drenk!), the advice given so far is good.

There is a possibility the headers are being spoofed (ie fake).

However, looking at the first IP address in the list points at an Australian ISP called Primus.Com.Au

I'd suggest sending a list of the dates when you have received the virus, a copy of some of the headers to support@iprimus.com.au and abuse@iprimus.com.au, asking them to look into it.

Are you using Outlook Express? If so, then you can 'block' a sender (all messages are moved straight into the re-cycle bin) :
