In the mail header of the two virus mails I could see that both mails were sent from the same SMTP host as the two mails he sent with his own account - and at about the same time.

Um, so what? New viruses appear every DAY, Ananas. Simply scan them for virii before executing them and you shouldn't have any problems.
Incidentally, that trojan attacks Microslop Outlook Express users (as usual) and automatically forwards itself to every user in the address book and every email address it ever comes across. It's VERY annoying; I've received at least 20 spams in the past month or so because of it.

Thats an old virus, and if you go to sexyfun.net its a site that tells you
how to get rid of the virus and how they bought the domain to help people get rid of the virus, lol.. [View Quote] ananasMar 16, 2001, 11:59pm

It didn't infect my PC, I never have scripting enabled and never open attachements before checking - but I think in this case it's better to issue the warning.

Anyone who hasn't gotten 5 copies of that by now is either a net newbie or a
statistical anomaly. :) [View Quote] > It might be old but it seems to spread across AW at the moment.

As far as I know I haven't gotten that virus yet. And I sure aint a newbie.
Now a statistical anomaly is pretty likely concidering I get 9 copies of happy99.exe every damned day and never anything else and have never been infected by a legit virus. That I know of anyway. I should run a scan and see if anything turns up :) [View Quote] datedmanMar 17, 2001, 6:49pm
Hehe yeah yer anomalous! I see at least a couple a week of the dwarf4you come
through my antivirus gateway. Funny I hardly ever see happy99 tho... I suppose we could trade some of our surplus virii. :) [View Quote] > As far as I know I haven't gotten that virus yet.
