This virus has made the news. Go to http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4673576.stm. It is set to strike tomorrow by wiping out common files. Better update your virus protection if you have not already and backup your files if you are not using a UNIX based OS.
Here is a list of the files it will wipe out: DMP - Oracle files DOC - Word document MDB - Microsoft Access MDE - Microsoft Access/Office PDF - Adobe Acrobat PPS - PowerPoint slideshow PPT - PowerPoint PSD - Photoshop RAR - Compressed archive XLS - Excel spreadsheet ZIP - Compressed file Good night and good luck!

Pulaski Sent: Thursday, February 02, 2006 12:13 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: He's at it again! It seems as though there is a concentrated effort of attacks going on. I don't want to be an alarmist, but me and all my friends are under attack. Not just this spam going to this group. We've all seen activity in our apache logs in the last week of people looking for holes. Mostly PHP, cgi, and XML. On our sendmail servers we are seeing requests for relay from spammers. More than usual. Just wanted to tell everybody to check your logs if you are running apache and sendmail and tighten things up. Told the wife I was going to fly over to Taiwan and kick the @ss of this guy that got through on my server. Got into cgi and was trying to run a ping script. All he accomplished was he filled up var and maxed my cpu (it was a poorly written perl re-direct script.) *NOTE: she was able to calm me down as I was on the phone with the airlines. "He's probably a 12 year old zit face with no friends, feel sorry for him." If people have relay turned on in their sendmail, the spammers - "virus weasles," could be going through their servers as people have been trying to do in my case. I still want to "visit Taiwan." I think that there might be a few less black hats in the world. Larry On Thu, 2 Feb 2006, Foo Ji-Haw wrote: > Jeff Griffiths wrote: > >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >> >>> >>> The virus weasel, that is!
