I've been receiving virus emails from this new Worm virus that was discovered yesterday. Bloody annoying!

My anti virus software is picking them all up, but I've had 63 virus'd emails so far tonight!!

retty sure im not infected, as the AV software is grabbing everything, but doing a scan anyhow.

This is the virus... W32.Novarg.A@mm

Anyone else having issues??

virus information here.... (http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.novarg.a@mm.html)

Nope, no virus on my pc. scanning my pc every week.
I've had some trojan horse virusses 2 months ago.

I never get virus' on my pc... as you can always recognise them, when they arrive... and virus checker is looking for updates every half hour.

But, as this is a multi mailer virus, which clones email addresses, Im getting loads of them!

ie, bob@sax-p.com doesnt exist, so it comes to me... trishia@sax-p.com.. same deal, etc, etc.. smileys/smiley5.gif

Until everyone realises they are infected, the constant emails will continue!

I've just installed virus checking on all true sax-p.com email accounts, so hopefully i wont get to see the damn things smileys/smiley17.gif

Not sure if its related to ths virus or not, BUT NTL just went off in a big way!!

Never lost all cable channels before... until now! And worst of all, my broadband went off! smileys/fcuk.gif

Funny how you become dependant on things that never even existed a few years back smileys/ponder.gif
