Steve -- it is likely not your machine which is sending the emails out.  It usually is 
another virus-infected machine which has your email address in an address book and is 
using that in the From field, pretending to be from you.  Viruses these days are 
sneaky, that way.



The virus emails are actually being sent from IP Address 67.123.228.73, which happens 
to be controlled by Pac Bell in the Los Angeles area.



To others on the Soaring Exchange list:



1) Don't bother to inform the sender of the emails that they have a virus -- it is 
almost always the case that they are an innocent 3rd-party who just happens to have 
their address handy in some address book on the actual virus-infected machine.



2) Another one of you likely *is* the one who is infected, as the email is being sent 
to RCSE and has Steve's address.  If you live in the L.A. area and get your internet 
services from Pac Bell, double-check your computer for viruses.

If someone is sending out virus code then that someone should be told for a

happening?  How will the other users, the potential new victims know? The
sender can be the victim, and should be advised that some hacker has taken

As you are claiming to be an expert in this area, please tell us
how to tell who the ACTUAL sender is, in the case of emailed virus code.

The point is that the sender, i.e. the address in the FROM field
is RARELY the actual person (computer) sending out the virus.

Yes, the virus is probably sent out by a 'zombie' but the address
that claims to be sending the mail is not very helpful in finding
and curing the zombie.

RE: [RCSE] Virus

2004-09-11 Thread Juster
Finding who the actual sender of virus code requires a series of tracing
steps.  The first step is to examine the sending computer, and work
backwards.  We, in this field, have done this many times.  Unfortunately,
the infected computer is usually held by an innocent victim.  I had one
case, for example, where we served search warrants on a home and seized the
sending computer.  

Once we had the sending computer the real suspect, in another county, was
traced and arrested.  Unfortunately, the owner of the sending computer was
detained at gunpoint, his door was kicked in, and he learned a terrible
lesson.  As an Internet Computer user you must have up-to-date anti-virus
software and a firewall system.  The user has to be aware of folders and
files that are on the user's PC.  Turn off your PC or at least physically
disconnect from the Internet when your computer session if over.  

This user did not have any online protection.  He sure does now, and
literally was quoted as saying later: Don't use the internet without
anti-virus and firewall protection.

With the war on terrorism, you don't want a terrorist using your PC
remotely, committing acts of war that will bring law enforcement and/or the
military to your door to seize your PC.  It is a documented fact that
terrorists, as well as hackers, use the Internet, and they love remote
control access to your PC to avoid a direct trace to them.  Remote control
access starts with sneaking a virus onto your PC.

[RCSE] Virus

2004-09-10 Thread Sneidley


Since I have been told by a few on this list that my computer has been sending out a virus. I have been scanning on a daley basis, but I get e-mail sent to my self form times that no one is on any computer that has my information. At this time I am unsubscribing from the list. If any one still recieves a virus from me, please let me know off list. I believe some one has a way of getting my password, and is able to log on using my account even though I change the password every other day. If any one has any suggestions, please let me know off the list.

Thank You

RE: [RCSE] Virus

2004-09-10 Thread Juster








I have received the same virus from your
account, however, my Norton Virus Checker and Zone Alarm Firewall stopped
it. You dont have to kill your E-mail listing. Try a few
things first.



You have what is called a tag
along virus. Someone has remote control of your PC. You are
what the hackers call a ZOMBIE. When you send out E-mail, ANOTHER E-mail
is sent out with a virus attachment with the goal of infecting other computers
and turning them into remote controlled computers or ZOMBIES. A
successful TAG ALONG virus can give a hacker control of hundreds of PCs
without the users knowledge. The hacker can be from another
country. The hacker might even be reading this after you get this
E-mail. 



Dear Mr. Hacker.you need to go to
jail, and I know how to get you there!



Get yourself another E-mail address, like
from your 7 AOL addresses that you are allowed to have, and send your new
address a message from your infected E-mail address to the new one and see what
happens. 



The test may not work since you would be
sending from and AOL address to an AOL address. If you dont have
an outside E-mail get one, like from HOTMAIL or DYNAMITEMAIL.com. They
are still free, and send to one of those addresses to see what happens.
Those are just some of the steps I would take.



Send me another one and I will look more
closely to the hidden E-mail data.



On the DOWN side your PC may be so under
control of someone that you may even have NEW FOLDERS on your PC that you
dont know about. You should write down your hard drive capacity
and see if it changes. If you are leaving your PC on 24 hours a
day..the hacker who is controlling your PC loves that. While you
are sleeping they do all kinds of things



Since NORTON Anti-Virus software found
what you sent me, I would recommend using that product to find and kill that
virus code if you are lucky, and the damage is not too great. If the
damage is too extensive, and your PC is too far under remote control, then save
off all of your important files and documentsbefore you
have to do the last option..erasing your drive and starting over.

Re: [RCSE] Virus??

2002-11-22 Thread Martin Usher



That mail's got a couple of small files in it. It 
was a virus but it got nailed in the outbound mail server by an anti-virus 
program. These programs work centrally and when they find one of these viral 
attachments they replace it with a non-program, a placeholder called 
"DELETED0.TXT" (and DELETED1.TXT and so on if there are multiple attachments). 
Since the other attachment is MSNCONST.TXT this might be the site that removed 
it or something like that.

This is great news. It means that those irritating 
EMail viruses are finally getting choked off at their source.

   I am so sorry to be sending you this alert.  Unfortunately, I have
been
  the
   unknowing recipient of an email with a computer virus.  Thankfully,
the
   person who detected the virus is alerting everyone in her address
list

   recommends I do the same.  I used the following directions to remove
 the
   infected file from my computer pretty easily.
   
   Instructions:
   This virus supposedly is programmed to activate after being on your
C
   drive
   for a while.  Because of the delay in activation, it does not get
 picked
  up
   by the antivirus programs such as McAfee and Norton. No one knows how
  long
   this virus has been on the system.  It is possible that it has been
  around
   for several months. When it does become active, it will erase all
files
  and
   folders on your hard drive.  The virus gets spread when you send out
   e-mails
   and filters into C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.nbs=; In order to find this
virus,
   follow the instructions below:
   Click on start
   Choose find
   Choose files and folders
   Select find
   Select C drive
   Name of file to search for:  SULFNBK.EXE
   
   If you find this file, DO NOT OPEN IT!  Select by right clicking on
 your
   mouse and DELETE it. Then close the window and empty your RECYCLE
BIN.
  The
   good news is that YOU HAVE ELIMINATED THE VIRUS ON YOUR COMPUTER.
The
  bad
   news is that you have transmitted this virus to anyone you may have
 sent
   e-mails to in the last month.  Thus the reason for this message.  I'm
  truly
   sorry!  Please contact everyone in your address book and pass this
  message
   along.

[RCSE] Virus info

2001-07-22 Thread Dave Seay

I know this gets discussed from time to time and it is off topic but with us
all passing emails back and forth on the web, its a relevant topic.

If you do not have an Anti-virus program... GET ONE! It is the best money
you will ever spend on a software package.  I recommend Norton from Symantec
but Macafee is supposed to be good as well.  Norton (and Macafee I believe)
include live web updates to your virus definitions for the first year as
part of the purchase price.  A subscription after that is about $5 a year
and worth its weight in gold.  If you don't think so, just wait until you
lose everything on your PC due to a virus and then think about that cost.

Virus makers are introducing new virus daily.  By getting your virus
definitions updated you can keep up with this nasty tide.

A word to the wise is supposed to be sufficient so prove you are wise!

The best site that I've seen is from the US Dept. of Energy.  I've 
been referring folks to it for about 5 years now.

Regarding the original post:

Don't feel bad about passing it along though, hoaxes and Internet 
chain-letters have been around since 1988.

Why People Send Chain Letters and Hoax Messages --
Only the original writer knows the real reason, but some possibilities are:
- To see how far a letter will go.
- To harass another person (include an e-mail address and ask 
everyone to send mail)
- To bilk money out of people using a pyramid scheme.
- To kill some other chain letter (e.g. Make Money Fast).
- To damage a person's or organization's reputation.

[RCSE] VIRUS, info, howto

2000-12-18 Thread Steven Meyer

FREE Antivirus software.  http://antivirus.cai.com/

I have been getting hit by the W95.Hybris.gen.
Also known as, W32.Hybris.gen, W32.Hybris.22528.dr, W32/Hybris.gen@M, 
I-Worm.Hybris
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w95.hybris.gen.html

I like Symantec's site for Virus information.

It appears it may be propagating from several people on this exchange!  No 
wonder since it masks itself as "porno" material.  :-)

People it is very wise NOT to execute any attachment to email.  This will 
include but not limited to files with extensions, EXE, VBS, SCR, COM.  Even 
if you know the person, a lot of virus code will send out mail without the 
original senders knowledge.

If you don't run a virus scanner get one.  But remember this is not a 
guarantee.  Hopefully it will just prevent you from spreading it.

Good advice to never, ever open an executable sent via email.

he other day I got as report that one of my messages here generated a "virus alert", 
but a v-scan was negative.

This List software should be configured not pass along ANY attachments.  IMO, FWIW.

Good holidays to all!

Sorry Charlie, the email headers point to you.

The happy99 virus is not smart enough to fake the email headers.

Are you sure you did a complete scan with updated virus signature files?

[RCSE] Virus alert!

2000-07-04 Thread Patrick Sloan

Sorry for the broad alert. but today with the responses from my questions to
RCSE I received what norton thinks is a virus.  It reports it as
"WScript.KakWorm".  Norton keeps trying to quarantine my inbox file and I can
not tell which email contained the virus.   I use Netscape for mail and as far
as I know there are not many worm type virus that effect Netscape mail.  Thanks
for all that responded to my questions  I fear that I will have to delete the
mail I received today to stop this virus alert from quarantining my inbox.I
read most of the mail using yahoo mail from my work isp, so I had a chance to
see most the mail.

If you answered one of my questions please take action and check that you are
not infected.

Please note that I was not the originator of the virus, I am just reporting it
as a potential problem for other list members.

Regards

Pat.

 Norton keeps trying to quarantine my inbox file and I can
 not tell which email contained the virus.

hmmm, that'll be Lee Estingoy's post about kevlar.
Coincidently, the same one that Tord complained about getting lots of HTML
garbage in ("lots of info about your regedit.exe, autoexe.bat and other
Windows nonsense")...

look at http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/wscript.kakworm.html if
you're interested.
Only affects Outlook Express.

Yeah, my scanner trapped it too.  I warned Lee about the virus immediately.
