Alert : Sobig virus is flying about.

I suspect the virus may have come from this forum, as the email address i registered to has loads of phone related virus emails with addresses from phone companies, and I don't use that email for anything else.

If you have a linux or unix server, you can put the following in your .procmailrc, it takes care of all the traffic related to the Sobig virus:

Blast! :x

I hadn't got nay of these for about a week now - and today 13 in my inbox! 1 of which was from Paul!

not from paul.

the virus uses forged sender's address gathered from address-books of infected machines.

so the email with paul's address was not sent from paul's machine, and paul's machine was probably not infected by the virus.

Yeah. This virus seems to have vanished off the face of the earth now.

All the ISPs will be blocking it within their mail servers, so you won't see it on those ISPs. I'm sure it's still around though!!
