Just today I've gotten two hits from Norton Systemworks about a virus called w32.Sobig.@mm sent by big@boss.com in an email with the subject "sample". It evidently scans for and harvests information, then makes itself home in your registry. Feh! May the fleas of a thousand camels infest all the private parts of a virus creator.

Symantec has a nice fix for this, but, jeeze, what a pain in the tush.

You can find more information here:

If you haven't run your virus definition update and removal software lately, please do. I have no way of knowing whether this came from anyone participating on this board or not, but I'd rather give everyone the heads up on this so it doesn't propagate further.

Thanks!

Thanks Kim.....oddly enough I just ran Norton last night :)

Hey Luscious:

Don't blame Boss as it's probably a third party using her (heh heh) email address as that's what Sobig does. If you get another suspicious email, check out the internet header (FILE:PROPERTIES in Outlook Express) to see what IP address sent you this annoyance. Then you can check where the thing came from and probably that person has never cleaned their machine! Happens every day for me.

Thanks for the digital camera info. My cousin's getting one for his birthday (heh heh).

...Lucy coming home?

I know she's been born...have you gotten a delivery date for her yet?

Spicey is anxious to hear all about her new 'sister'!
