Bloody virus!

roxor · April 6th, 2004, 05:28

I am getting sick and tired of getting emails from the W32.Netsky.D@mm virus. How many of you have to put up with this as well?

I haven't gotten any of those types of email and I use Hotmail.... But I know how annoying getting viruses can be. I used to get Trojans all thw time until I installed my firewall. I also have a virus scan installed on my main comp just in case.

I just got 4 emails with Netsky and few Dorm emails a while back

Using Yahoo! mail. At least it's easy to identify, all sent by same person

I get about 5 or 6 emails infected with it everyday at work. I can't believe it, symantec released a free tool to clean it almost a month ago... Peple just don't care

That, or they're not computer literate enough to understand that they have a virus, I'm sure.

You have a point there, but in this very case, it's very likely that they'll be receiving automated replies from firewalled domains warning about the virus. I myself have received some, as this virus fakes the sender address.

My personal e-mail is Yahoo, and it has filtered all messages infected by this virus (I got 0 messages

).

But my e-mail at work is being bombarded by this virus (20+ messages every day)
