Anyone else getting bombarded with bounced, rejected, and virus attached emails caused from that new [url="http://slashdot.org/articles/04/01/27/0038234.shtml?tid=126&tid=128&tid…"]Windows virus[/url] which is doing the rounds latey? I'm getting tonnes of them from Sony, Disney and other strange places.. the craziness.
(I use a webform to send out email, so I'm safe)
of late my hotmail e-mail has been getting 6-7 virus attached emails a day.
MoonUnit, Yeah I had the same problem, with advertising internet stuff. It got to the point were now I don't have a net connection at home. Everything is so fast now. My Photoshop or max will open in about 5 sec or less, it is damn amazing.
Yeah i had the popup worm where i coud not open internet explorer with out getting infinite pop ups. I did a scan with norton and it found a worm called adclicker or something which clicks on all the banners and stuff. Luckily i got rid of it. Any Hu, don't u guys have anti virus software? Broadband is great with norton cos it always keeps u up to date with the latest virus definitions. I havn't had a problem since i got Cable 2 months ago. before that i was usually formatting my computer about once a fortnight. No Joke [V]
I havent gotten the virus yet, althoug I have been getting lots of spam about Jessica Simpson and buying cigarettes online (!).
Oh and I had to close my Firewall (Zonealarm) to upload a pic, it was only a minute yet somehow I got this small casino program downloaded onto my computer without me doing it!! It also sends out pop-ups and other shit. I only had the firewall down for a minute!! Damn the crappy things that happen on the internet. :(
I'm getting bombarded by some very strange emails, but they seem to contain bits of (or references to) personal information (family names, related organisations). May be a different virus...
Very odd stuff.
