Netsky worm

There's yet another worm out there. Today when I checked my email, I noticed I had 6 msgs in my "bulk" folder. Now, this email address is not used for random junk mail. I only give it out to my friends I trust, so why would I have "bulk" mail? I clicked it anyway, and they were all from different senders. BUT, I noticed they were all the exact same size, 41k.... that's fishy already. I clicked one, knowing yahoo won't let you download a virus they detect... sure enough, the netsky.p@mm was there. I checked another, same thing. One more, yep, it's there too. I'm sure all 6 were the same virus.



Be on the lookout! Oh, and if anyone has my email addy in her address book, could you please check your system? These things are pretty sneaky.

FYI for everyone. There are a few serious viruses that will take over your entire hard drive and start to send out emails from your machine. And yes I do have Norton Antivirus, unfortunately it did nothing but let it through. I went home with a headache. It took the technician four (4) hours to remove them from my machine at work. BloodHound.packed is one and the other is Backdoor.Prorat. We had to purchase a Wireless Access Point Broadband Router for firewall protection on top of the other items such as popup killer and spyware removal software.



Just wanted to let everyone know. You can also find out if your machine has these by going onto www.symantec.com and click the security check. It will check your machine for security access and Trojans.
