How do you know for SURE it's malware NOW? If the possible malware was an attachment, your ISP or your server could have stripped the malware FROM the file then passed the rest. My AV software does that. -Clint
God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://www.OrpheusComputing.com http://www.ComputersCustomBuilt.com http://Computer-Hardware-Sales-Consumer-Electronics-Sales.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Dougherty" Hey Clintster. I moved the file from the compressed file and right clicked to scan and it was still OK. My assumption is this is something brand new in the wild. What I can't figure out is how it got some of my email addresses. I received about five of these, all from different senders, but the rest of the emails were the same. The emails I received them at are from two different domain names of mine. The one domain I've only had for a short time.

Few are set by default to scan archives/compressed folders/zip files, etc. Yours is either not set to scan **ALL FILES**, or if it is, it just can't detect the malware yet. IF that email is from Symantec, or is implying its origin is using Symantec/Norton software, it would seem to indicate the latter, that they can't detect the malware yet. You can zip the file and try and send it to me off-list. (One of our ISP's though may block it though). -Clint ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Dougherty" I recevied the following email on several of my email accounts. I am pretty sure these are infected, but my trial of Norton on my new computer did not detect any problem with the compressed folder or even if I mvoed the file to my desktop. Do not reply to this message Dear Customer, Our robot has fixed an abnormal activity from your IP address on sending e-mails. Probably it is connected with the last epidemic of a worm which does not have patches at the moment. We recommend you to install a firewall module and it will stop e-mail sending. Otherwise your account will be blocked until you do not eliminate malfunction. Customer support center robot Has anyone had confrimation of these are infected?
