GRRRRRRRRRR AHHHHHHHHHHHHH GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

If having 10 yesterday wasnt enough.. now 50 i cant believe this.

All with different subjects too.

[Much0S]

50!? I GET 1 PER MINUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In 5 different languages so far... each time I check my mail (which is once every 5 minutes) there are at least 4 bogus messages!!

Fuck this!

[Simon]

You guys are not the only one... This is a worm going around the net... the past 3-4 days it has crashed over 2 million pcs...
difinately a bugger..

We'r working on something , a modification to sendmail to block this. When we come to a solution i'll post the solution here so you all can perform it on your servers and hopefully stop this problem.

[stepin]

i agree with you both i have been bombed with the dam viruses in doc and pif format. i get about 5 a day from other guys <font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by Simon:

Simon - Your going to be working a long ass time, cause it comes with it's own SMTP engine...

If you check out Norton's it tells you all the text that come's inside the body of the e-mail's. Just set it up through Outlook to where anyhting with that text goes to the Recycle Bin...

[William]

I got this e-mail too. First time, 5 minutes ago.

[Toni]

I've received about 100 of these today!!!

[Due]

If anyone is using a TRUE E-mail client the just set Outlook Expres to auto delete files from server that contain "I send you this file in order to have your advice" in the mail body. Add any other languages that you might receive in it also http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/wink.gif

[mukoh]

I woke up this morning and i had 45 of these, not counting the other spam i have.

[NakedPanda]

I have a very simple way of making sure I never get virusus I just never check my emails or open unsolicited ones everything else gets deleted the 1 time a week I check.
Try it you will live longer

Panda

[stepin]

this is good but the one i am talkin about comes from people you know when they get it it sends it self to everyone on there address book. so you open it thinking its kool and then you got it that is how i got it awhile back now i just delete everything with .pif or doc attachment <font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by NakedPanda:

[RaiDeN]

yeah this thig is spreading like reaaaaal fast.

i get 50+ a day. but i managed to make a rule for most of 'em. so they dont annoy anymore.

btws 90% of the ones i got were in spanish or such a similar language

[mukoh]

I am getting like 10 an hour now, from like 5 different senders. This is lame

[Venturas]

Only got 2 of them http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif (guess my contacts aren't as stupid as I thougth lol)

['Plat]

i had no clue about setting "rules" thanks for bringing that up. I inserted a rule for "Hola como estas?" the first line in half of the virus emails ive gotten, the other are in english.

Seems to be working :c)
thx again

[Tipsy]

Yippeeee.
38 in the past 3 hours. Wow - this one's spreading quick. You gotta love the ignorance of people who open these despite warnings just about everywhere http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

[toker]

Yea and just wait till them bandwidth bills roll in for all these files being transfered 50 times a day!!

BTW i got a new string file.xls.pif which has jumped in size now its 2.14mb aint that great..

If you dont learn to set some filtering rules in your servers and client software then you lookin at some heavy damage.

50 x 2.14mb x 7 x 12 = $$$

i get over 300 of them daily.

I configured my Outlook 6 exactly this way but it doesnt work http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/frown.gif

any idea why ?

right now I'm blocking all emails above 200 KB to get rid of 90% of them.

[Bill-]

it's sucks bigtime. i get it 10 times a day.

[boneprone]

It sucks cause legit email I want to get isnt coming in because this virus email crashes my email.. My storage space is overloaded. I have to go and delete every email every 6 hours or my box gets locekd up full pass capicity and shuts me down.

['Plat]

when is this virus gonna end? its just going to get worse and worse. I have to empty mine every 30mins because i get over 20 of them in that amount of time. This is not good at all. If deactivating my email system is the only way then hell let it be.

[WETDOG]

Well i have been off line a bit and checked my 3 e-mail accounts i have over 200 of these bullshit e-mails asking for my advice and some other guy is now sending them in text file format with .bat .exe scripting.

Is there any way to track these ass holes and e-mail bomb them to death???

[blind]

It is to my understanding, that it is people you've emailed before that you were put int he address book that are sending you this shit. The virus must have something where it sends itself out multiple times a day, because I get 5 or 10 at a time from the same people when I check my mail.

My advice:
Reply to the messages and tell the sender they have a virus on their computer and to fix it. I'm pretty suprised that this hasn't showed up on CNN yet. In my opinion, this thing is substancially larger, and more "damaging" than Mellisa ever was.
In fact, I never got the Mellisa virus, but I have recieved over 4,500 of these things in the past few weeks, and it gets worse every day because it spreads itself every day. People who open these attachments should be shot for being dumbasses.

Ok i got an email downloading now that has been downloading for the past 5mins.. how big does this virus get? Does it just accumulate every file in the persons My Documents and send everything!?

grr i really really am starting to grr

['Plat]

Ok that one email just finished (1 out of 35 more)

Its 39848kb in size and subject is "fo-psp702f"

That means FOSI PaintShop Pro 7.02F

Im sure u may have heard of FOSI (warez group) So yes this virus must take everything in the users My Documents and send it out. 39mb holy crap this is not good. Are they only going to get bigger!? Imagine someone with like 1gb+ in their My Documents!!! ick bad stuff bad stuff

[Avatar]

Set your filter to delete email containing doc.zl and/or if you use Eudora you can delete the email on the mailserver.

Make an auto reply on that filter as well warning people that they have virus on their comp. and include a link to eg. mcaffe!

[Wetlap]

another solution
delete the contact list
http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif
http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/frown.gif

[enlighter]

"deleting your contactlist" ...

why should this solve anything? I receive my emails no matter from whom they are coming !?

[Carneal]

thats why outlook express blows.. if we all would just stick to a html based email like hotmail.com we wouldnt be bitching http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

i also get these bumfuck emails about 100 a day... i think personally its kind of dumb to make something just to go back and forth over millions of cpus all the time. theres no purpose in these dumb worms,,, ahwell life sucks... have a good day http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif
