Novarg Virus going around

Captain Trips · 2004-01-29 00:20:59

In my daily dose of 80 or so spam messages today (not joking) I got aroudn 13 Novarg virus attachments which Norton picked up. Just a bit of advice for anyone.

yep. it's been officially labelled the most prolific virus ever.

1 in 12 emails scanned by messagelabs contained the virus. gobig-f only managed 1 in 17.

lots about it and what it does on www.norton.com, www.theregister.co.uk and every other half interesting site out there.

not too much bother from a sysadmin point of view though, it's easy to pick up, and block once you know to look for it.

just a bit of extra traffic.
