Ski Mask Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 its a zip attachment and with like one line of text too right? I think its some kind of virus. I've been getting the same thing from emails of people I know, here and there for a few days now. none of the people they come from sent anything (so they say), sounds like you got it too.

Intangible Posted March 4, 2004 Author Share Posted March 4, 2004 did the zip have a password? and it was sent in the email? I didnt see a line of text...but i know it installed something...i need to know how to get rid of it...and why was it sent from 12oz...

Ski Mask Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 I have a mac, so when I get any kind of zip attachment it gets ignore or deleted. are you using eudora? I think it just clones the emails using your address list. Originally posted by IntangibleFame did the zip have a password? and it was sent in the email?

ares Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Originally posted by IntangibleFame why was it sent from 12oz... It wasn't. This new virus thats going around, comes from people you know, or on your contact list, but they didn't send it to you. Now your friends are probaly getting emails from you...

ares Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Because these infected emails show up in your inbox under the names of your contacts, meaning your more likely to open it, and infect your computer. Theres also another virus going around similar to that one, where you get an email from someone on your contact list, saying you sent them an infected email, but again, this isn't the case. The email then infects your system, and sends emails to your contact list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ares Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 I would assume that if you don't open the attachments, you should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BIGMETALCIRCUS Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 i got about 50 supposedly return emails from AOL that i never sent. came from the mailer-daemon, all had attachments, and all were deleted. i can't figure out if my acct was hacked or the mailer-daemon thing was a fraud.

Abracadabra Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 word of warning as well kids, if you use outlook express/eudora or any other mail client on your pc, do not use a preview pane. close that shit. there are alot of email viruses that don't even need you to open the attachment, you just need to view the mail. if you have a preview pane and even click on the mail in the inbox to delete it, it gets viewed and you get screwed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest imported_b0b Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Originally posted by ares It wasn't. This new virus thats going around, comes from people you know, Sounds about right. The Netsky virus spoofs the address it has come from, in an attempt to cause confusion. If you think that the zip file installed something you can check by going to: http://www.symantec.com/region/reg_eu/index_eu.html And click on the Symantec Secruity Check under the Community Center header. For good, free anti-virus software go to: http://www.grisoft.com it has regular updates too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
