RE: [newbie] sobig?
Sobig.F (or any of them) can't infect a linux machine.. They may get your address from someone elses address book and sent out emailed forged as being from you, but you can't get it yourself. what benefit is there in scanning your emails for virus's you can't catch? (having said that, I use postfix/amavis-new/trend filescan to do the same thing.. but its to protect windows machines on my network.) rgds Franki http://htmlfixit.com -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Beppe Sent: Thursday, 21 August 2003 8:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] sobig? Hello :) I have heard a lot about the worm sobig and i really think that what is trying to stuff my address (only the main now on 5 i have) it's it. the problem is: i've downloaded and installed clamav (i've found a binary of 7th august 2003) but at the command clamscan -m -r (while being in my mail folder) i get as an answer that no file is infected. What can i do? Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

What can i do? Relax, get on with life. You ain't got it - unless you're running windws 2000, XP, etc. If you are running windows, use this as a learning experience and wipe your hard drive. Or, go to one of the anti-virus peddlars (e.g. http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/[EMAIL PROTECTED] and follow their advice. Strangely, I found this out by entering the words 'sobig' and 'virus' in the search box at http://www.google.com Paul M. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
