Hello from Star and Marilynn, (I have added .... to v.i.r.u.s to try and get past the filters.... Pat: would you please send in plain text to the L for me?) When I logged in this morning to get my emails I realized that I was getting "undeliverable" emails back from people I didn't know... I had updated my v.i.r.u.s. protection both a few days ago and again last night so found this surprising. I had done a full scan a few days ago plus each email is checked prior to my opening and any files attached are left out on my ISP server until I decide I want to pull them to my computer.... Even so I started another full scan this morning and I am clean. Just before leaving work today I received an email from out Network Security area. I have only included the first part of the information (to avoid the length restriction on the Berner-L) and have bolded the part about the sender's email address is not the person who's computer actually sent it as that will hopefully save us some "PLEASE update your protection" emails to people who are just as much a victim as those receiving the emails. From: Corporate Information Security Central Support is receiving many phone calls from users who have received emails that appear to be related to the Sobig.F v.i.r.u.s. This virus arrives in e-mail and includes a variety of subject lines, including "Your details," "Thank you!," "Your application" and "Wicked screensaver." When the .pif or .scr attachment is opened, Sobig.F infects the computer and sends itself on to other victims using a random e-mail address from the address book.
