Made more interesting as someone else has a bit of spam with much the same style that pretends to be a link to aye.net/juno.com etc but instead goes off to whatever horrible site they've hidden under the link. Looks like it's this 'W32.Mydoom.M at mm': http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.mydoom.m at mm.html After it infects your machine, it then proceeds to use google/yahoo and other search engines to find out other email addresses on domain names in your address book, which apparantly caused some problems for the search engines yesterday. It's rated as a High threat and (*trumpet play*): Systems Not Affected: DOS, Linux, Macintosh, Novell Netware, OS/2, UNIX :) Hen On Tue, 27 Jul 2004, Jeff @ SLYN Systems wrote: > Anne, > I received the EXACT same message with the word "juno.com" inserted where > you wrote "aye.net". > The attachment on the one to me was most certainly a virus.
