(Please do not reply to this notice here on the Mailing Lists. If you must discuss it, contact the manager of the List.) Have any of you been receiving the latest Netsky.D infection? It's been hitting hard and heavy. I've seen quite a few posts on other Mailing Lists about it and McAfee wasn't catching it. Neither were AOL's AV software or any other server's software. BUT..... my AVG Pro DID catch it! Hooray! (AVG Pro has been updated 5 times in the past 32 hours!) FOR YAHOO EMAIL USERS (and probably others): Netsky.D is faking emails from Yahoo about users' accounts. Here is what the fake email looks like: ********************************************** Dear user of Yahoo.com, Your e-mail account will be disabled because of improper using in next three days, if you are still wishing to use it, please, resign your account information. For details see the attached file. Attached file protected with the password for security reasons. Password is 66482. The Management, The Yahoo.com team http://www.yahoo.com Attachment TextDocument.zip .zip file Scan and Download Attachment Scan and Save to my Yahoo! Briefcase ********************************************** DO NOT OPEN THE SUPPOSED TEXTDOCUMENT.ZIP !!!!! It is the Netsky.D virus!!!!! If you open it, you are infected immediately. Netsky.D will probably be sending itself purporting to be from other email services. Do not click on the attachment! Do not do ANYTHING with the email except delete it. If your Anti- Virus program is working AND has been updated during the past few hours, the AV program probably caught it. As of this morning McAfee hadn't updated virus definitions for it. They probably have by now. Regards, SgtGeorge -- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus (http://www.grisoft.com).
