Folks, I am sorry to bother you with this, but this is very important, especially if you run Norton's Antivirus protection on your computer. There is a new variation, I believe of the Snowhite & hahaha worms. W95.hybris. I have checked the Norton's site and it is not yet listed. It will come to you in this form: After the person who is infected gets infected, a message will be sent out only it has NOTHING (no words at all, not the word, nothing) in the senders name, or subject line. Only an attachment. THIS attachment is titled "Norton virusupdate.txt" or something similar. The heads up was the fact that no sender was listed, and no subject line. This was just sent to me twice in the last hour. I have no clue as to who is infected as the attachment is not attached to the infected party, but works much like the snowhite worm. If you get this attachment, please do not open. Delete it and close your mail program. Do not close down your machine. If you have not opened the attachment, you are fine. If you have, you are not, and I am not sure what you should do other than try to get help at Norton's. I was flagged that two files were sent by email with the W95.hybris worm attached, sent them to quarantine without opening them and then I deleted them. These attachments are named different in the quarantine folder, as being "ADKKACAD.EXE" but the only attachments that came into my machine have been those two ones that state they are a text file from Norton's. If it had not been the fact that there was no SENDER's name or Subject Matter in the preview pane of my mail program, I may have been tempted to save these and scan them. Instead, I chose to dump. Please beware this may be a variation of the snowhite worm but I have no proof. Better to be safe than sorry and this is a very insidious mode of getting folks to open the attachment, thinking that Norton's is sending you a text file of sorts. Then again, I could be wrong about this whole thing. Only thing that is making my gut think I am right is I have no attachment other than those two come in on my machine. Good luck, I hope I am wrong but my gut is saying I should warn all of you just in case. With my name being in many address books, I tend to get these sent to me all the time, so I try to keep up on them as much as possible. Sorry to have taken your time with this.
