URGENT: virus info

[redlines4us]

With regards to my post above. I think my Norton was trying to stop an email from entering my box that had a virus attached. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]I turned off my virus protection on my email account, checked my email without opening attachments. I then discarded the emails, turned on my virus protection and it works just fine. Later! Bill

I kind of thought that might be the deal. Our inbox has been getting flooded with "failure notices" due to others being hit with SoBig.

Thanks Rob!

Just a note to be careful of all of those "Microsoft update" or "Microsoft patch" emails that are flooding everyone's inboxes. They're NOT from Microsoft (go to properties and check the header info), so be VERY careful. I had a link to some info about with and actual name of the virus, but in all this board nonsense I've managed to lose it. So, if someone has it, post it, so we can all take a look.

I still have one copy on the wifes deleted files but am afraid to touch the thing, it really hosed me big time, How do I post it without opening it!!

No no, I am looking for a link to info about the virus, not a copy of the virus itself! I've got plenty of those here!

If anyone runs across an article about it, just post THE LINK! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
