Had 18 emails this morning 12 of them virus's!!!

Usual form, from people i do not know with titlews like 'That Movie' or 'My Details', beware. My Norton is not picking them up, not sure why although does not appear to be any attachement.

Standards :p

If people don't have any AV protection by now and don't delete any suss looking e-mails, they deserve to get infected.

They then also deserve to pay me £30 to go round to rebuild their PC :D

Yes, and Yes, respectively.

1 - you must apply the patch for blaster if you're running Win2k, WinNT, WinXP
2 - SoBig (the email virus) - don't open any ,pif attachments (goes without saying really!

Cheers,
Nick.

Phil Harrison 01 September 2003 11:37 AM

Funnily enough, I haven't had one of these. Ever. Does this mean my ISP (Freeserve) is filtering the traffic?

InvisibleMan 01 September 2003 11:39 AM
