Hey there's this new virus going around and it goes into your e-mail and e-mails everyone on your list so you wont know it's coming from an outside source. It has a whole bunch of different names, so it's hard to tell that way, but it always comes through the same size 46k so check on that before you open anything for a while. - Fri, 3 Jan 2003 10:42pm

I keep getting it! Shit I thought it might be a virus. It's been sent to me approx 10 times in the last 24 hours. Half of the time it says it's from someone I know and the other half it says unknown. Always 46k and it's about a friendship screensaver. Crappy. - Fri, 3 Jan 2003 10:53pm

Thats the one, just pay attention to the size. - Fri, 3 Jan 2003 11:40pm
ML7Mike Try going to your webmail ( if shaw then http://webmail.shaw.ca ) and delete the sucker from the server. If its the W32.yaha.k@mm variant, then it'll resend itself to your server everytime you bust it coming onto your pC.

Ive made over $200 pulling that fuckin virus off of computers this wek alone, with another job tommorrow and on eon Monday. its a bugger. - Sat, 4 Jan 2003 12:15am

Yyou poor pc people. I keep getting it too, but me mac won't do shit with it.
I made a little rule in Outlook to throw it in the garbage whenever it comes in, 'cause I keep getting it from the same person.
But it is a piss off. And it looks so friendly you just want to open it, eh Jay? - Sat, 4 Jan 2003 12:48am
ML7Mike Its so freindly EVERYONE is opening it.. but its making me a fortune.. all hail the script kiddies! - Sat, 4 Jan 2003 12:54am

ML7Mike Actually, the return addy is probably false. It either makes one up from a list available at http://www.sarc.com or it uses someone else address from the senders addy book as a decoy. - Sat, 4 Jan 2003 12:56am

Ya, just in case you "may have" opened one, what should I I ... I mean you expect? Just curious. - Sat, 4 Jan 2003 3:14am
ML7Mike Sorry Hell.. didnt mean anyone in particular. That virus makes it so that no exe files will open, thus rendering any help useless. It isnt hard to kill if you read carefully the removal intructions at sarc. - Sat, 4 Jan 2003 4:52am
