Don't know who it be, for the email address said [email protected], but someone is sending a worm virus throughout their contacts and it has made their way into my account.

The email refers to an 'application' being accepted. I reccomend deletion straight away for it forwards it to everyone it can on your contact list (not sure if there's a 50 limit or something, but 50 is still a big amount).

Not sure how it damages files, or what, other than spreading itself, it actually does, but according to Symmantec, it deactivates at the end of the month.

My Dog had worms. Maybe it's him?


Anyway, emails with extensions are always nasty. Very nasty.

Heh, I don't think I've posted my email address on here since when I first joined...

It wouldn't suprise me if he did send the virus, although it hasn't accomplished anything, Norton Antivirus scanned the email before I could even open it.

Fang 'im if you like.

It was the JAT! dancool26 did it in malice because you were mean to his feelings and such. He must of gone one by one through the topic list looking for a members e-mail address and when he got his hands on that he would ask them for yours! Then he would download a worm virus into a disk and gets ready for the opperation at hand. He infultrates a secret goverment base and downloads another worm virus that will one day conquer all Europe but for now just destroys e-mails. He runs over to your house and slips in a disk to your hardrive whislt your not looking. He waits paitently until the download is complete then he seeks out the backdoor. Ingenuis plan dancool26, but you forgot one thing and that's what led to me figuring this out.....You forgot that I'm phycho. Yep! Deal with it! You forgot! Now Edgy, should I fang him. It's a quick death. Just one fanging. FANGSS DAMMIT!

I got the Klez virus from the Member 'Cheeseman' over in the web forum.

Norton Antiviurs found it in my Temerorary internet files, under the name "Snoopy.exe".

It fakes email addresses, making it seem that someone actually sent you the virus, when it was the virus itself. For instance, I had apparantly sent it to him, and it was laid out as Chipseh when it should have been Howard Lloyd


Nasty stuff.
