Subject: Virus Warning



We have been advised that there is a new e-mail based virus called
'VBS.VBSWG2.X@mm' but arrives with a subject of 'Homepage', a message of
'Hi! You've got to see this page! It's really cool ' and an attachment of
'Homepage.HTML.vbs'.

If you receive this e-mail, delete it immediately and do a antivirus update
and scan.

The virus is an encrypted VBScript worm that uses a known exploit to send
itself to all recipients in an infected user's Microsoft Outlook address
book. It also has a payload that opens a Web site that contains pornographic
contents.

To find out more about this virus, including how to delete from your system,
please go to http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/vbs.vbswg2.x@mm.html

We have an antivirus program on our download page. To down load, please go
to http://www.cyberwizards.com.au/downloads/IPE502Setup.exe .


Also, a quick reminder that submissions for Cybermart must be in by
12.05.01.


Thank You

I think I got this one already, the virus I mean. Something kept encrypting every damn thing on my computer, even loaded files! I finally just had to wipe my drive.

Go to http://www.sexyfun.net for explanation on another virus. I got it a few weeks ago and it wiped out 3 of my files, including the drive to my cable modem.
I hate losing some of my hard drive. I had to download a Viagra website in order to get the hard drive hard again.
