    As of April 4, 2004, due to an increase in submission rate, Symantec Security Response has upgraded this threat to a Category 3 from a Category 2 rating.
    So I guess yes. Though it's still Netsky and Dumaru that I keep receiving. When will people learn?

    Just noticed that most of them are coming from esatclear addresses which i also have

    how many catogary's are there? 5?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,967 ✭✭✭Dun


    Yup, five of 'em.

    The addresses could well be spoofed. The only way to know is look at the headers and see where they originated from, from there.

    all i can say is thank god for nod 32, that anti virus programme is the best out there, got the sober.f virus through on an e-mail from an eircom administrator account, nod32 had it quarantined and deleted before it knew where it was
