Mac & Linux users can ignore this ;-)
In very large numbers we have been getting a very difficult virus that
Norton Anti-virus does not fix. A colleague described the virus as a
"social engineering [attack which attempts to infect] . . . with the
W32.Acktantta virus. This virus replicates by sending out emails from
infected system disguised to look like invitations to join Twitter and
other social networking sites, spurious Amazon.com orders, and e-cards
from someone you know. . . .It seems to also infect the system with a
Bloodhound variant. . . . difficult to remove as it has sabotaged
[Symantec anti-virus]."
Anyone know of this virus and if a fix is available. I think one of our
machines is infected with it and have taken it offline.
