New Virus Alert

Recommended Posts

Presently people are having a big problem with a really intelligent

worm virus in Yahoo groups.This virus usually reaches a mail box some

way and then tracks the ids with the word "group"

and send mails with subject lines usually of a forward which is already

present in you mail box.

This virus is intellegent is becausee of two reasons

- It sends mails with virus to groups by searching for the

word "group" in its address book or inbox id's

- It takes the subject line of any mail with "FW:" in it and sends it

across to the groups and the sent mail is not even seen in the sent

items box.

Suggestions [generic for any virus infected mail box]

1) Do not open the mail which has attachments of size 180 K to 189 K.

2) Do not download the files which has unknown exensions like mim , mhx , bhx.

This is a simple way of preventing viruses from spreading to other

mail boxes

Forward it to all your friends, to avoid spreading of Virus and Worms!! .

Here is the Remedy for that.

All the Best. :clap:

Hi,

Yeah my gateway loaded with POSTFIX, CLAMAV, BT, SOPHOS, FPROT,

SPAMASSASSIN, and MAILSCANNER could trap 99% of junk before

delivering anything to my CYRUS IMAP daemon process :help: .

PS:

Rational is don't rely on MS platform, they made this cool place internet a sick place :confuse: .

Always deploy somekinda secure gateway for your HOME net, before riding on NET.
