Received today (Tues):

A new mass mailer worm has begun to start propagating around the
Internet in the last day or so. This worm is known as "MyDoom" or
"Novarg", and more information can be found about this on the BBC site

In the past couple days I have received several attachments named
"doc.zip" with the subject line "hi" or "hello." I'm sure they are
worms or viruses. These jerks never give up.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

And be on the look out for Java/ByteVerify.
I just found that on my machine this morning after
an antivirus update...

I have my AV update automatically so that is likely
how it slipped past it. It must have gotten onto my PC
before the update.

Aw, dont feel bad.
Tell you what, I'll let you have some of mine.
I'm getting dozens of "could not deliver you message" replies (still with
the attachment) in my mailbox because the virus/worm is using a faked
website Email address for the "sent from header" from a site I maintain.

I never sent them, but the mailbot's think I did.
(They are too dumb to look at the actual path)

What's your E-mail address I'll set up forwarding.
<LOL>
