Virus Alert: Worm_mydoom

[bornl33t]

Head up ppl, there's a virus alert out for a worm. The only reason I post this is because I'm being spammed my ppl with this virus, the strange thing is no one has this E-mail address that I know of and I'm getting spammed by ppl I know but have never E-mailed.

Anyway, heads up. Trand micro has a free scanner availible.
Also if you get suspisious E-mails with attachments named "hello" or "test" delete these ASAP.

Yep, that's the one we (somehow, still not sure how) got... its just-as-evil twin brother. Wasn't it a DOS attack though, that already happened??

actually, it's only been an active virus since today. feb 2-feb 12, that's why I am getting E-mails NOW all of the sudden

Actually its been around for over a week now ... Sunday was the date it went active in its DDoS attack against SCO. Wed I believe is the day it goes active in its DDoS attack against Micro$haft ...

I dunno ... while I dont agree with attacks like this, I have no pity for people who are dumb enough to open any kind of .exe attachment in their email.

It comes as a .pif, .zip and several other extensions too.
