I
appreciate your warning - thanks. Meanwhile, here's some extra info to
help the other readers:
Look out gals and guys. Someone sent me an
email with a 40k virus attached.
Actually, that filename is linked with a
fairly new bug known as W32/Badtrans. There are two variants, one
of which (".b", "-B" or "PWS-Hooker") includes a password-stealing
Trojan that may or may not work. Check out this page for more info,
including a fix: Badtrans-B Worm Info
But whatever its name, I'm glad you were
able to intercept it. And I thought it might be
instructive to point out that it wasn't sent via our server. Nor was it
sent as a result of posting here....at least, not directly. I'll explain
in a moment...
This is the only place that I use
junk_yard_racing@hotmail.com for. Darn, and I thought I was going to get
to see Brian nude LOL Must be one of those low-life Chebby FOOLS doing
it.
This worm attacks local computers
running Outlook or Outlook Express. It sends
a copy of itself to anyone in the user's Address Book and some
related folders. So, its clear that somebody had
your "junk_yard" mailto on their local hard drive.
Perhaps you've accidentally used it somewhere
else....or maybe to send a private eMail to someone here? How the guy
from Denmark got it is anyone's guess but that's a good reason to never
"forward" eMails to a long list of addressees.
Hope this info helps.
