virii
The server from which I receive my mail started using postini.com for a mail filter. Up 'til yesterday they mostly screened spam with an occasional virus, may one or two a week. Starting late Thursday through Friday there were 29 messages that they had flagged for spam. Have you folks been bombarded like that? I just downloaded my mail again and their was another patch for M$ with this header: Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2003 08:28:19 +1200 (FJT) From: MS Corporation Network Security Section [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Consumer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Last Upgrade Is this a new worm, virus, t-horse, or?

Bob I get a goodly number of these every week. They slacked off for a while but have started again just in the last few days. I believe it's a trojan but I haven't bothered to dig into it. Quite clever and well done if you look at the fully-rendered HTML version. No doubt alot of people are falling for it.

Bob Yes, it's a virus. M$ doesn't e-mail patches. But given that each of my mail servers sees them at the rate of 100+/day (to various users), there are a _lot_ of gullible M$ users out there. That's a sustained rate during the past two months, BTW. It was worse when it first started. Hmmm. Gullible M$ user. Sorry for the redundancy. David A.

Re: virii
It's not new. It's been around awhile. It hit hard, slacked off and seems to be picking up again. With Christmas coming I imagine a lot of people have bought brand new boxes from Dell, etc. with XP and are providing a lot of new targets for these trojans to infect and annoy us G.

Some of which have the virii still attached. Can't the failure notices get filtered out?

linux-users list passing on virii
For what it's worth I sent a virus passed to me through this mailing list to Antony Stone on the MailScanner list. He is running several virus scanners. He confirmed that ClamAV doesn't find this virus. In fact, here's the pertinent part of his reply message. It got picked up as Sobig.F by Bitdefender, F-Prot, Inoculan and McAfee, which on my system means that it got missed by ClamAV, Kaspersky and NOD32 (I run several antivirus engines on a single machine for exactly this sort of comparison!). On my system I use MailScanner to run F-Prot, TrendMicro, and ClamAV. Only ClamAV is missing the virus. If I remember correctly the list is just using ClamAV. -- Gerry The lyfe so short, the craft so long to learne Chaucer ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
windows = virii
I got fed up with the large number of notifications of viruses in my email so I consigned all my samba forum (Windows users by definition) mail to dev/null (procmail is good for something.) I have stopped getting these silly emails full of virii. So, I guess we know whose machines are infected. Geez. Its a good thing for MS that there doesn't appear to be product liablity laws for computer software as you would have with other products. Otherwise, MS windows might be held responsible for the costs incurred by these virii. Now, why doesn't some law class look into suing MS for this?
