Virus Alert: MYDOOM virus (emials)

[Guy Thomas]

Be on the lookout!

Virus Outbreak notification for MYDOOM virus. W32/Mydoom@MM generates emails with a spoofed "From: field", so incoming messages may appear to be from people you know.

Furthermore, the subject line and message body are both randomly generated by the worm. Email messages may appear as error messages in relation to files that you have not sent. As always use extreme caution when opening ANY suspicious email. More information about this virus can be found here.

I've been getting blasted by it. Getting 4 to 8 emails containing it or its effects 3 or four times a day since yesterday. I remain clean though according to my anti-virus software.

I'd kinda like testing a blade out on the authors of these things. Little pricks.
