Virus Alert -- Whatever you do, DO NOT OPEN THAT ENCLOSURE.
Advertisements [?]
I am getting literally dozens of personal email messages today from senders I've never heard of. The subjects are all different.

Examples of Subjects

  • Re: Thank you!
  • Thank you!
  • Re: Details
  • Re: Re: My details
  • Re: Approved
  • Re: Your application
  • Re: Wicked screensaver
  • Re: That movie
  • Undeliverable: Re: Approved

...and many others

They all have an attachment and carry a similar message:

Examples of Message

  • See the attached file for details
  • Please see the attached file for details.


Whatever you do do not open the attachment.

It will infect your machine with a worm called WORM_SOBIG.F (alias Win32.HLLM.Reteras, W32.Sobig.F@mm, W32/Sobig.f@MM, Sobig.F, Win32.Sobig.F, W32/Sobig-F, I-Worm.Sobig.f

I have never been so heavily bombarded with a virus in the 10 years I've been doing email. Please be careful.
