Dont open any attachments from interisshit@hotmail.com.

It found this virus in th attachment.

W32/Netsky.b@MM

Just to let you know

I wouldn't open it if it had an e-mail address like that. Also I wouldn't know who it's from so i'd just delete it.

yeah i dont know how he got my mail so i thought you better be carefull of this guy

[gouldy]

There is a lot of these going around lately, more than just one, every day i get sent a new virus from a different e mail address, but if I don't know the e mail address I just delete the e mail anyway.

I never get e-mails I don't know about.

I don't know what the people are thinking or have thought when they programm such a virus and so on.

I think this people are very bad, extremly bad persons who should be hard punished

Bino, welcome to one of the fundamental arguments of... ummm... computers... I guess. What about cracking (to hack is actually a verb meaning "to program", it is improperly used by almost everyone) with no malicious intent, but only to strengthen one's knowledge? Is it so bad then, if you did nothing wrong and hurt no one? In fact, most colleges and univirsities may teach it! In many bookstores, you will find books teaching you how to crack, with the intention of using it for fun, not profit or malice. Of course, NO ONE believes that anyone who cracks WITH malicious intent SHOULDN'T be punished.

Just a little history lesson [8D]

I know about craking because im taking a webmasters course at my highschool. I too mistook hacking for craking befor i took the class. I also delete any e-mails i dont know or have never heard of the name. My webmasters teacher also told our class of a virus that would get into your e-mail after you checked it, go through your address book, and send more viruses to your friends. I think its over with now though. I am going to wind up being a computer geek cause im real interested in computer science. for 12th grade im taking a lot more computer couarses and you can guess what im taking for college. Right now i can create my own web pages using microsoft frontpage, i also learned a little bit of HTML, Hyper Text Markup Language, it is the universal language of the internet. I dont know where im going with this subject right now, but im going back and forth with it.

Youve learned a bit more, what HTML is.[approve][pshades][:D]

yea, same here

It's amazing how some people have soooo much time on their hands and noooo lives to sit around and make viruses to send to people.

I got that one, but I deleated it. I also go another one, that was deleted too. 2 virus on one day, thank god for virus scanners!!! Word of advice, never open up anything that you aren't famililar with. Don't even think about clicking it until your read the name and analyzed it!!!

I got a whole load of stuff in my bulk mail from peeps with the domain name of hotmail.com and so on with attatchments that say Read this! and all kinds of stuff. I dont even know these peeps. It is amazing how many peeps have no lives making viruses

I get at least 50 e-mails with virii every day.

I don't get that much but I have a damn good virus scanner!

Same here, using netscreen now. Norton has gone down the hole for me.

I have F-Secure Anti Virus v5.52/5.62 (checks for updates HOURLY and has a built in zoneALARM type internet blocker thingy)

SICK the amount of news and updates I get!

NB we also are behind router-firewall-server to make hings harder

I created a nifty little virus in about an hour and 200 lines of code.[8D]Never sent it anywhere of course.[:D]However, some of the more advanced worms and trojans do usually take a bit longer to code, and pretty much take your life away, as you can get tried for a jail sentence if you get caught.[xx(]

well, I can imagin CompuWiz as being one of those people wit no lives, but I don't think he is mean enough to do that. Don't take it personal, just that the posts you have made are kinda how you say really nerdy. Such as to hack is to code. So??? The new usage of that word is to creat code harmful to other computers when downloaded, a non-nerd definition with some nerd like word structure???? I dunno. but anyways, Yeah I've deleted every single bulk email, and regular email if I don't know who it's from. Pops said that the reason all these viruses being set to almost everybody's email is because the "h4x0rZ" infected the email providers and then they send em to other emails,

I always get lots of mail in my bulk, but i always delete it, I hardly get any strange mails in my main inbox. I don't think my bro has a antivirus program in his comp. (The one I use every day cause its the only computer in my house) But i think he should get one, just in case[peakhill]
