First, let me apologize to anyone who may have been affected/infected by a email post of mine. When I first realized what was happening I had to email everyone in my address book because I wasn't sure if the virus/worm had compromised my address book or not. Second, this is a really new one folks. Neither McAfee nor Norton recognized it at first. I had to go to a third virus scan to find it. Once I found it I was able to back track it using Symantec's website. As a matter of fact, it wasn't originally detected by the antivirus companies until 1-13-2000. What was happening...in case you are having the same problem...was that all my incoming mail was immediately being forwarded to my outbox and being returned to its sender...only now with my name on it...with an attachment. It went something like this: "Sorry that I can't respond immediately, but please check out this attachment and tell me what you think." As you can see, even if you knew the sender it was disguised so well that you might not suspect until it was too late that it could be a worm. Here is the website that will tell you more about it: www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.plage.worm.html The worm sets itself up in a file in windows called intend.exe So far I haven't found anything that will clean it up....so I performed radical surgery and just deleted the application. It hasn't affected the performance of my computer; however, the worm also altered my .ini file and now I have to figure out how to get it back the way it belongs. If anyone has any ideas .... please help. Again, I really am sorry if this has caused anyone any grief. I ought to know better, but I knew who the original sender was and didn't even think that it could be a worm/Trojan. If attachments are still going out on my emails, please let me know!
