A little thing i would like to add...
If u are using Outlook Express (or anything with that preview window down the bottom), DISABLE THE PREVIEW. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO OPEN AN EMAIL TO GET THE WIRUS. JUST PRECIEW IT. THEY DOONT EVEN NEED A VISABLE ATTACHMENT, JUST A LINE OF PROGRAMMING IN THE EMAIL. And sorry about yelling at all of u, justwanted to stress that point. |

I'll add my voice to the warning ...
This virus is a nasty little thing. Not only is it a mass mailer ( = server killer ) it also: Wrecks specific anti virus software by deleting files. Can spread itself via ICQ and MIRC. Has a keylogger that can capture your passwords for common security logins, and can forward them via e-mail. I got 7 copies of it at work today before they shut down our e-mail system to clean it. It can be easily identified, as the e-mail subject will be "Hi" |
