RooK 0 Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Yeah, its a virus/worm attachment. MS doesn't email you updates, you come to them for em. I got one last night, Norton picked up on it in an instant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rocky 1,224 Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Yes, it's Swen. If you have IE5.5 and it is not patched, you are in trouble already. Anyone else needs to be silly enough to open it to get into trouble. Me, I am getting 100+ every day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
