E-MAIL VIRUS PROBLEMS
Nov 15th, 2004, 5:47pm
 
the e-mail may have the subject line of "returned mail ; see transcript for details"
if it does, on no account open the e-mail.
Delete and inform us below or Pm one of the admin team.
it is Not from novoserve or any of its members

plese make sure you have an up to date anti virus programme.

we may send out an e-mail warning shortly.
COPY OF E-MAIL

"Dear user {insert address here}administration of novoserve.no-ip.biz would like to inform you that:

Your account was used to send a large amount of unsolicited commercial email messages during this week.
Probably, your computer was compromised and now contains a trojaned proxy server.

We recommend that you follow instruction in order to keep your computer safe.

Sincerely yours,

Ss.

Have received no virus attacks for the last 14 days which suggests your in the clear.

You can send me an email for checking if you like, but I will be out between 6:30 and 11:00pm.

the message is built up using the domain of the target address

so if your email address is joe.luser@aol.com it will claim to be from the aol.com team

someone who has your address has got the virus its as simple as that

i was getting an overwhelming deluge of the things at one stage (i know filter my account sever side so i never receive them)

You can make my address visible for a short time if you like SS, I'm home all week.

And would be able to check anyone that sends me an email.

i think what its doing mostly is getting domain names and sending to any matching email addies on the domain, ss's at novo and mine at the-kid, most people wont get it if they dont own a domain.  Just another thought.....

sorry yeah. A@mm i think(cant really remember off the top) but the A is definately right.
I meant it was identified using AVG virus scanner because I know different scanners call them different names.

virus name is universal, same name for every scanner.

there are two A, A@mm and A@mm.enc, the A being the most common variant.
