New virus spreading throughout the Internet

I won't warn anyone about the virus or anything else because when I make a post, It either gets regected by mods or mocked by members with higher posts.

Benji, methinks you're getting just a leeeetle paranoid.

But if you want to add something, you've got to add a few details about this virus, 'cause there are all sorts of viruses floating around.

He is probably refering to the W32.Norvag virus also known as the hoop something, i don't remember.

not exactly second. this post was made first dude. that one's first post is dated the 27th.

[osprey4]

This post was first, but it contains no useful information.

[nomaxim]

In fact we don't even know if it is about MyDoom/Norvag.

We're just guessing on that.

i doubt these W32 viruses will ever stop, just to many spreading

This is from my ISP in email:

There is a new virus going around that is VERY dangerous. It's programmed
to look for personal information (credit cards, etc.) and has very damaging
side effects. This virus shows up as an attachment that LOOKS like a "Zip"
(.zip) file. As always, with ANY attachment, never open them for any reason
unless you are 100% positive of what they are, and expected them.

You can read about it here :

Wju425 - It's not just ZIP files, but most other executables without actually being EXE files (BAT, COM, etc...) The icon looks like a TXT file but it isn't.

Sorry I could give more info but the ******* librarian is being an *** because she says that forums are not alowed on their comps. **** her!!! lol sorry
