Somebody on here has a virus doing the rounds in their contacts list. The virus is spoofing the from address which has picked up my email which must be in your contact list.

So far the mail addresses it has been sending to are :-

inet@microsoft.com
davidlucas@bigfoot.com
stevejlawson@hotmail.com
at@brdevelopments.com
chapman_amcas@hotmail.com
Mansoohee@aol.com
freemrh@hotmail.com
neila_home@yahoo.com
redscoob@freenet.co.uk

Do these match your contacts. If so please scan for a virus.

Thanks,

Dave.

bttt

and try this http://securityresponse.symantec.com...oval.tool.html

Has eveyone who mailed DemonDave checked their address book for the address's above. Its worth checking you might not even have had any idea its you. I ran the check sraight away to satisfy myself that I was clear.

Another email address added

All clear on my front.

Confirm all clear

I seem to have been cloned by a virus as well - I keep getting mail returned by virus detectors from mail boxes I have never heard of....not sure of source - but it may be Scooby as I recognise one of the Scooby addresses....

....however most addresses are US based and I have never heard of them - very freaky.

Trout :D

Ran the tool for double safety and I'm still in the clear mate ;)

Hope you have it sorted now ;)

It must be somebody on scoobynet as I have email a few of the addresses and had confirmation that they are scoobynet users.

Somebody out there has the virus and isn't checking !

Dave.

There's a high chance that out of the several thousand users (discounting multiple IDs etc), quite a few don't understand the concept of Anti Virus software and not opening dodgy attachments...

True m8, we can but try to educate !

Dave.

All clear m8.

:)

More emails ... more chance for somebody to see the thread !

Indeed we can :)

Word of caution, after the fourth or fifth edit the post gets deleted. Hence best to repost in the thread rather than keep editing.

Chris.

Thanks for the reminder !

Dave.

All clear here Dave coutesey of Norton

Pete

The list is growing..... Will I get someone full address book. One way to get a backup I suppose :)
