Hello, >question: why is it so damn hard for us to search for info >on viruses by subject, msg body, or/and symptoms???
Many viruses use a wide range of subjects and have a set of message body primitives prepared, so they can cheat message filtering. In order to check the virus sample, you could use web forms or automated e-mail addresses: Kaspersky Labs e-mail robot for samples (fastest to react): [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trend Micro Web form: http://subwiz.trendmicro.com/SubWiz/Wizard.asp?opgWizard=7 McAfee (NAI) e-mail at [EMAIL PROTECTED] CA (InoculateIT) web sample submit form: https://www.my-etrust.com/services/virusSampleForm.cfm If you submit a file and it is an already known malware, the form / auto- reply will tell you about it immediately. If the sample is new, the AV guys will process it and send you a reply ASAP. (Average 1,5-4 hours, maybe a little more at weekends). This way you don't spam the mailing list and get a rapid response 7x24. Sincerely: Tamas Feher from Hungary. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
