WARNING: A new wave of virus is raging today. The message might look like it's from someone or some company you know, but IT'S NOT THE CASE, the virus is spoofing addresses, so it is useless to call the person you got the mail from to tell them their workstation is sending viruses.
The virus is called netsky. It comes under different shapes and variations such as:
from: someone you know or a company name subject: read it immediately or hello, or something for you, hi, thank you, etc.
message: i wait for reply or you try to steal or is that from you or that's wrong ....etc..
steps to freedom: DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT DELETE THE MESSAGE PERFORM A VIRUS SCAN ON YOUR WORKSTATION
I got this message at 11:47 AM my time, and by 12:10 PM I had gotten virus messages 4 times.

...I been gettin' a LOT of e-mails with names that I don't recognize and weird subject titles.
I notice they are straight e-mails (I mean they are not forwards or "paper-clipped") But they are always in "bulk-mail", which irritates me 'cause I tho't I had "spam-guard".
Are those "viruses"?? Anyway, I NEVER open them just delete right away from inbox and out of trash. How do they get your e-mail address?
