Default Virus alert! AnnaKournikova.jpg.vbs

If you get an email with an email attachment of AnnaKournikova.jpg.vbs, DO NOT OPEN IT. This is an email worm that will send itself to everyone on your address list...not good.

If you find it, delete it immediately.

I can tell hits to Ifish will be down significantly in the near future.....

Personally, I wouldn't mind catching a virus from Anna, as long as ointment would fix it eventually......

I have had that one and one other today hit me. Tried to open both of them since they were from friends. I check my outgoing mail log and dont see where I have an outgoing mail to everybody on my mail list. Will outlook express list the mails as being sent or is it sneaky and doesnt list it being forwarded. Whats up with the viruses, is it flu and virus season.

Sorry if it got forwarded to anybody on my email list.

Think I will go take some vitamin C, and see Dr Norton.

Also, there is another virus out there that is supposedly from Microsoft that is a patch that is supposed to fix a security problem with a number of programs. This is yet another virus making the rounds, so do NOT run the attachment. I know it has a bunch of Microsoft links in it and even looks like a Microsoft patch but it is NOT!!!

Outlook Express version 5.5 will supposedly not let this type of virus send itself to people in your address book. Earlier versions do not have this "fix".

BUT - you can never be sure, so you still need good anti virus software. I've got hit with the Seven Dwarfs last week, but my virus software caught it.

I just got back into my office this afternoon to a find a fax from our main office telling us about the "Anna" virus. There are also two others that were detected today which should not be opened.

Here you Are"

I got this warning from a Couz in Springfield, MO. today. It hit him this AM but he has Norton anti-virus so he was alerted and cleared it off. It is on the Norton's web site. Comes from the Netherlands they think. Next week it will be another idiot trying their version. I think these creeps should get jail time, without computer or TV access. Solitary.
