Very Important Virus Warning!!!
 

"Here you have," ;o)

IS A VIRUS!!!! DO NOT OPEN IT!!! I work for a computer engineering company, and it has infiltrated our network totally skipping the virus scanner -- none of our virus detectors picked it up! It came to our company through the sherriff's dept. who got it from the school system, and lord knows who else!

It worms through your address book sending multiple messages to all the recipients listed.

Carnation and BUCutie be WARNED since you guys are in my address book!

I'm going to start sending all my emails with "secure" written in the subject line so my recipients will know its okay.

Just look out folks - I'm sure its all over the place!

AXO Alum,

Thanks for the info. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif My Dad who works for a computer company told me about another that has a title in the subject line like "Snowwhite and the seven dwarfs" whatever you do, dont open it.

Thanks AXO Alum, i will keep a look out for that. Dont forget the "secure" on the subject, otherwise i will trash it. We wouldnt want ANOTHER thing keeping us from reading each others emails http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

That is SOOOOOOOOO scary.
I'm up in Toronto, Canada. We just got infected too. We're a computer company who supports a bunch of networks, so ALL of the networks got the mail too, so it's EVERYWHERE.
It's more a nuisance than anything else, but i can't believe how wide spread it is.

Quick Question!
If something is a virus, I was under the impression that it is OKAY to open the email, just not to download anything. Am I right or wrong! Let me know, and thanks for the imformation! My mom will download ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that is sent to her, so I'll let her know NOT to!

Yeah, thank goodness, a nuisance is all it turned out to be. Just a pain in the behind for all of us versus something much more serious. But I can't help thinking -- here is some genius who can devise a virus that can spread so fast and not be detected, yet he/she can't use this info to help others -- how lame is that?!

Yeah, you have to actually download and open the file to get the virus - but the advise is usually to delete the email entirely w/out opening, b/c the file could possibly be self-extracting, and also accidents can happen (when i worked at a computer company one summer in high school, a guy opened an email he knew had a virus attached "just to look", and then accidently opened the file instead of deleting the email b/c he clicked in the wrong spot . . . this is a guy w/ a degree in MIS, making 6 figs a year . . . eh)
