Title: Virus?
Post by: WMCoolmon on August 24, 2003, 02:26:56 pm

Today, I just received a message-was-not-delivered properly email...for a letter I never sent. It was addressed to "[email protected]", and called "RE: Details". It has a copy of the original letter and a .dat file (ATT00042.dat). I haven't turned off disallowing unsafe attachments in OE, so I don't know what either of the attached files are.

What's it mean?

"Re: Details" = SOBIG.f virus (Big, bad and fast thing! Very dangerous)

Delete. It. Now.

And run a virus scan of your entire hard drive.
