Nath, YES it is. Delete the email. Do not try to open the file. Scan your computer. Read above intructions. And then read Microsoft AntiVirus Alert advice. LoL
![]() btw .. Nath that person not stupid.. its even not necessary the person on the from: that send the file.The virus does many trick with your address book and also it try to guess email address. ![]() Thanks to Microsoft .. this virus senerio seem to help in human brain developement. Raise the challenge! Added: Btw Nath .. maybe you want to ask your ISP if they have the anti-virus program install on the email server. Most ISP have that now. So the virus file will be filtered first at mail server before it reach you. I have to pay extra RM1 for that service. For for web base email like yahoo.. they already have that .. |

Since I have a hotmail as my regular mail that one is scanned twice. Mcafee is already installed by Microsoft, and then norton will scan it too when the mail gets to outlook express. Pretty safe I hope ![]() |

Can someone please clarify for me that the only way to get mydoom is via email? I remember someone telling me the only way I could get the Blaster virus was via email. But I never opened any emails whatsoever and I still got the fucking worm! That thing made my life a misery, I can tell you!

False, Tina: the Blaster worm travels from IP to IP by means of your connection, and it affects your KeyReg only. Actually more people got it this way than on the email, since up to where I know Blaster wasn't an executable file, just a worm that kept on going and going. :P
MyDoom, you do get it in the email. I never open mails from unknown people since the list of email transmitted viruses is ridiculously huge. Be careful. QueenBee. Seriously. *Smacks Queenie up the head.* You've got spare money to buy a new HD? |

darje: I was talking about the new one. Not blaster. So not so false. Sorry for not making it clear though
![]() And yeah blaster spread wide in no time. Most people I know got it. I didn't though my computer overheated a lot in that period so I actually thought I got it. |

Haha, I like your style QueenBee. Reckless.
![]() Unfortunately, replacing my modded comps is not only sad but hurts the wallet, so I can't afford to not have virus scanners. |

Thanks for the info, people.
I don't have an anti-virus program but I do have Firewall enabled (not that I actually know what that means and it probably does fuck all anyway!). I never open email attachments unless I know for a fact who sent 'em to me and that they're genuine anyway. So *fingers crossed* hopefully I'll be ok. |
