Re: W32.Netsky.D@mm
 

Its sorted now anyway. Does anyone know to to import a blobked senders list from OE to Outlook?

Re: W32.Netsky.D@mm
 

I had that today and it put a file in my c:/windows dir called winlogon..

this couldnt be deleted and whenever running caused slow browsing and caused CPU usage to go up.

After removing it from msconfig i was able to remove with no probs..

Anyone with similar?

Re: [Merged]Netsky Virus
 

Erm :shocking: I just got this I didn't even open the file :confused:

Re: [Merged]Netsky Virus
 

V :confused: I've ran a full system scan, turned off sys restore and am running the w.32netsky removal tool for the second time. Seems like a false alarm :shrug: or maybe it detected the one in quarentine.

Re: [Merged]Netsky Virus
 

Well I've had 16 sent to me at work - luckily the Council's wonderful up to date software detected them all!
(Yes I was surprised too! ;) )

Re: [Merged]Netsky Virus
 

Got Norton Securities 2004, on auto update and it has been catching this one on a regular basis (2 today!). Just got a return from a postmaster claiming that I had sent this damn virus!! And from my main user account!! Come to think of it, it has been playing up for ages, taking forever to download incoming mail with messages in Outlook saying something like "downloading 1 of 88. Time remaining 47 minutes" and I am on 600 service. Now I am confused, just done a forced scan and found no record of any virus(??)

Re: [Merged]Netsky Virus
 

Similar happened to me a couple of days ago from an address I'd never heard of and certainly wasn't in my contacts. Sure enough it came complete with its own copy of the Netsky B virus in the alleged returned mail. Damn SNEAKY :fit:

Hi Sipowicz

imo also run an alternative 'spyware' detector, as well as your Norton stuff - adaware, or spybot, for example:)

Re: [Merged]Netsky Virus
 

Thanks for the input, I have spybot and adaware running.

I had a notification at work today about this latest round of attacks. It described the very sort of message I got about being responsible for sending a virus. It is a technique the virus writers use, whereby they spoof the address of the sender from the address book of someone infected with the virus! I was not aware that they do this sort of thing!

On closer inspection of the postmaster notification, it seems that I "sent" the infected e-mail, whilst at work and with the home pc switched off!

Ouch! Nasty...........

Once a week is not enough, you should be able to set NAV to auto update. if not check every day for new deffiles. My AV from Command/Authentium CSAV has updated automatically 5 times in the past 48 hours.
