New Virus Found!!

#1 Postby TexasStooge » Thu Apr 15, 2004 11:20 am

A new virus has been found in e-mails, The subject will say "Re: your product". The attachment will be in a .pif form, once you scan it, the virus will be titled "W32.Netsky.D@mm".

If you see any of that, delete it immediately!

I saw that in my hotmail junk box yesterday. I skim through the junk mail for S2K members emailing me that are not added to my address book. Then I delete the rest.
