Friends I have been sent many infected messages, hopefully I can
keep you from becoming infected and me from getting more.. This worm is
extremely common, it has infected our e-mail network for the company I work
for, I've been sent several copies from genealogy contacts. (speaking of
which the Descendents of Henry Woodward site has a new
URL
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~dsscheibe/woodward/index.htm
) If your sent an infected message and click on the attachment it will
send it self to everyone in your address book. I know if you have Norton
Anti Virus it will detect it and stop it as it has at work, also at home my
mail program is set to not download messages over 50K without asking first
so I have not been infected. Of course if you do not click on any
attachments that you don't know absolutely for sure what they are you won't
get infected by this sort of program.
If you get infected here is a link to the automatic removal application:
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/FixSirc.com
If you get a message that looks anything like this, DO NOT CLICK
on the ATTACHMENT!
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Disposition: message text
Hi! How are you=3F
I send you this file in order to have your advice
See you later=2E Thanks
Content-Type: application/mixed; name="I do not think that
rebounding.doc.lnk"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="I do not think that
rebounding.doc.lnk"
The file name will vary as it sends a file that it has infected
off the infected computer, but it will always have a 'file.???.???' format,
where the double extension could be anything.
