Ausgate member infected? - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Just a heads-up to Ausgate people - I've been sent the worm W32.Netsky.Z to an email address I only ever use for Stargate people...

Although the headers are mostly spoofed, it seems to have been sent via ShawCable.net in Canada. The "sender" may (or may not) also know someone called "cuteeblonde@hotmail.com".

Time to check those AV definition files...

That sucks. I hope you didn't have too much trouble removing it. What's this worm do?

No idea - it was detected in transit and quarantined before it had a chance to be activated...

Check:
McAfee - Netsky.Z
F-Secure - Netsky.Z
Symantec - Netsky.Z
