Virus Warning

[Papa Lazarou]

Got a copy of the "PalyH" worm this morning which appears to arrive from support@microsoft.com. Anyone else? It seems to be spreading like wildfire so be vigilant :thumbs:

You are not alone :(

For the record. There is no reason whatsoever that Microsoft would contact anyone off their own back. If you had initiated a support issue, e-mails would come from an individual. There are tons of these flying about.

Yep had this too :mad:

[Yak]

Aye, I got one too the other day on my works email acount :p

Nice roose though. As usual the biggest sercurity risk is the human using the computer :D

I've had a couple of viruses recently - both the klez varient.

Both originate from a machine on Blueyonder cable: 82.38.73.177

klez is rife on the Net, mainly due to preview panes in Outlook and Outlook Express and people not using anti-virus programs. :rolleyes:

My AV subscription ran out a month ago and then all of a sudden there are tonnes of new viruses:mad:
Mind you I make sure everyone is vigilant with emails, and I use a hardware firewall, so I should be OK until I can be arsed to update my subscription.
