Guest cabo Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 It is a nasty one. It can be triggered without opening attachments. Symantec has a repair for it if your computer will keep running long enough without rebooting on it's own. http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.blaster.worm.removal.tool.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagger Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Basically if you get an email message from your ISP with an attachment named message.zip, you should trash it and delete the trashed file from your hard drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wetcoaster Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 One of these viruses takes the form of being from admin@[your domain - mine is telus].com and is an attached zip file of 17K. Telus is aware of it - calls it the mimail virus and it has references at: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.mimail.a@mm.html http://us.mcafee.com/virusInfo/default.asp?id=description&virus_k=100523 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
