Hi Folks This is just to warn you that an automatic reply to my posting last night on the above subject resulting in me - and possibly others - being sent a new virus!
The message source address was '[email protected]' Do not open any self-extracting ZIP messages attached to emails from this address!! Luckily it was caught by our corporate firewall, but I then received the following message from the people administering the firewall. Their message is given below for your information. Regards John Allen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------- Hi, John. The mail sent to you has been confirmed as a virus by Sophos. It's known as "explorezip-b" By the looks of it, the infection results are similar to many others - you run what looks like a self-unzipping file, and the pc is infected, sending the virus to many others - via the local address book, and in response to each received mail thereafter.
