I had one to my ispreview addy but the server deleted the attachment before I got the email. I have added a copy of the email from Nortons. My email had greeting in the subject and an attachment.

Virus Warning!
W32.Netsky.B@mm - Category 4 Virus

Symantec has upgraded the W32.Netsky.B@mm to a Level 4 threat [On a scale of 1-5, 5 being highest].

W32.Netsky.B is a mass-mailing worm that uses its own SMTP engine to send itself to email addresses it finds when scanning the hard drives and mapped drives. This may clog mail servers or degrade network performance. It also searches drives C through Z for folder names containing "Share" or "Sharing," and then copies itself to those folders.

Identifiable Characteristics of email:

From: (spoofed)
Subject: read it immediately
Body: information about you
Attachment: story.com

With the newly found mass-mailing worm, W32.Netsky.B@mm, Symantec advises customers to protect the network and update the definition file of all the Symantec AntiVirus solutions, using LiveUpdate and Intelligent Updater.

[Mal]

I'd just got the new virus definitions from norton last night for it, then checked my email and it found a virus. Talk about timing.

havent really checked , they seem to be from different sources , if i remember i will check the headers next time and have a look :)

[allanprg]

Nope haven't had this virus at all. :no: Keeping fingers crossed. :ninja:

[allanprg]

Also Norton anti-virus updated yesterday. So helping to keep the yukky thing at bay. :)

[Paul]

I got three or four copies on the first day (20th) - nothing since then.

[Broc]

I am getting 2 or 3 W32.Netsky.B@mm for the last few days.

Most but not all are from a similar but different address.

graham@counter2.sextracker[2].txt
graham@vad.mainentrypoint[1].txt
graham@ads.specificpop[2].txt
graham@counter7.sextracker[1].txt
they seem in a odd format and it also seems odd that they are so similar :confused:

[Paul]

Those look like cookie names

[TezmitcH]

Just had 4 of these myself today. NAV 2003 picked them up and deleted the attatchments straight away. I was just thinking "thank god I haven't had any Novarg/Mydoom lately" then this starts.

Some people have far too much time on their hands. Or is it the old conspiracy theorists favourite where the AV companies create them to sell their software. Personally I'm just tired of getting virii sent to me. :mad:

Thatâ₠¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s what's in the email properties as the sender address. Can anyone shed any light on why this would be, is it the way the virus works or is someone sending it to me and disguising their address.:confused:

[Sipowicz]

I've had about 12 in the last week! Norton has killed them for me!

[paulyoung666]

10 this morning alone :(
