Virus and Worm alert

[snorkleman]

Don't know how the rest of the country is working with this worm or virus but thought i would warn you. I work for a company providing internet for over 250,000 machines. We have been working overtime to kill a new worm and virus that is taking over county networks. Do not open any email that contains any of the following lines: Details, Your application, Approved, Thank You!, Wicked Screensaver, That movie. These all have attachments related to the Sobig virus. It is also possible for someone else to have the virus and a mail relay using your email address to send emails on your behalf. If this is happening you will be getting system undeliverable messages for emails you didn't send. Also the welchia worm is killing networks by flooding icmp requests and trying to delete system files. Here is a link on the worm :

And here is a link about the Sobig worm:

And if your not running virus software chances are your already infected. Get some...its cheap and worth every penny.
