Homepage virus
#1
OK guys. The regular virus alerts that we see all the time p!ss me off, but I know first hand this one is for real.
Today we received a very similar virus to the LoveBug. Needless to say, we now know our exchange server is capable of sending 578 e-mails in 30 seconds.
The message arrives with homepage as the subject heading.
The text within the message simply says check out my cool homepage ;O).
The attached file was homepage.HTML.vbs
The curious turkeys at work actually clicked and hey presto - floods of e-mails.
Keep a close eye on this one. You're bound to get it.

Had pleasure in deleting permanently later
Had another similar strain/different name as well today - I'm going to get the pager turned of, it's bugging me

Dr Solomans or whatever it is nowadays - NAI Anti-Virus Suite - 2 year deal.
I have it polling constantly (well often ) for dat updates (leased line) & it integrates nicely with all aspects of our set-up
Added to this is my own draconian hold over the network & what users can/cannot do
Going to bed now, but drop me an email if you want a call about it...

We've just had it. So guess what I've been doing all morning.
And I've found out our server can send 600 e-mails........Not bad for a little Dell.
Also Symantec have got downloads for this Virus.

I do have shares in the company!
Glad to hear that our Generic detection worked for some of you, expect to see it in action again at a later date.
Some advice for all, block .vbs files at the gateway.
