Well, if you are getting it good luck.
Worm Automat AHB
Symantec has info on this Trojan worm.
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/dyn/42036.html
They also offer a free online security check and virus scan.
My computer is clean, the problem is that the other person's pc was infected
and their computer, whose address book had my address in there, sent on
bogus email message behind the other to my box. I eventually had to go
online to check my mail. There is no fix for this worm. As in, if you don't
have it, you will still get the messages because of your address being
stored on an infected pc.
Last resort:
I had to change the email address.
Filters are good, but most of them not only reject bogus messages or Spam,
they reject valid emails as well.
I hope everyone has their pc's up to date on virus software and windows
updates.
The messages imitate MSCorporation updates etc. and mail delivery system
failure notices.
When I called my service provider they said someone out there was imitating
them also.
Anyway,
safe computing.

Subject: [Irish Campbells] ADMIN MSG - virus alert
Here is a new one...Wormautomat HRB
It is so new that Norton stops it (thank goodness since 1/3 of my mail
this morning was loaded with it) but has no real info on it. I did a
google search and didn't find anything on it either. So, this is a
heads-up to be aware of a new worm/virus. Again, don't open attachments
of any kind when you don't know they are coming.
