Eagle

Will that block ALL attackments or just trojans?

It will probably block the .exe extension. I haven't got one yet, worst I've gotten is the 7 dwarfs story one about two times.

I got hordes of the 7 dwarves one. I even got a couple in other languages. A virus in multiple languages... they're getting too smart.

sh%t

How can I get rid of it

hotmail said it was no virus detected...how can I get it off?

Eagle

Hmm

if you use hotmail you are safe
unless you downloaded the attachment and ran it...

Goto that URL I posted and download that check thing
You'll see if you're infected or not...
Looks a little strange

its a small .com (.com??? It's 2001!!) file,
however its from symantec, the same dudes as NAV...

just my $0.02

Now that I think of it,
I think they made it .com because else the worm might infect the .exe....

Cause the first 2 bytes of the file look EXACTLY like an .exe header: "MZ"

Just my $0.02

(so in other words, just a rename *.exe --> *.com)

i got a lot of those and the seven dwarfs one
i don't understand why i am getting them...i don't recognize any of the emails

Oh no. I just opened the thing.

First it tried to display as a DVD movie, that didn't work so I saved it as a .doc - a bunch of programming at the top and then the letter right at the bottom.

Don't know if it did anything... suppose I better go and check...

Really? I wonder why :D

I replied to the sender and wholla... a second later, a reply with a new subject and file, this time a .pif, arrives.

The infected PC owner sending to me must be a building contractor.

It blocks all but say .jpg and .gif... for the others you just go to options and turn the blocking off and save the file....

Getting the same one, only it's a .bat file - must have had that thing sent to my e-mail addresses 20 times this week :rolleyes:

While most of us sensible enough not to open these things I shudder to think of the millions of people who are poking that file right now...

I just have my file extentions associated with Notepad, unless it's a text, HTML or image file or the like. Anything else, there's no reason to execute it, unless you specifically and intentionally do so. Otherwise, associate everything else with Notepad. I think the funniest thing about this new one, is that it's coming from sources I've no idea whom they are. I mean, it's different for most people when it comes from someone you at least know. Man, they aren't getting smarter, if you ask me.
