Virus doing rounds (MSN)

[Dicko]

Iv got a few emails off people on novaload to my hotmail account i use on msn. (email will be around 120-150Kb and may not show it has an attachement even though it does) also people say they have received email from me and the times show that i wasnt online. From what im guessing somebody has the virus who has me and others on there list and the virus is sending out emails and putting our email adresses as the sender (this is not hard to do)..

I will investigate this further when i have time but can everybody get the latest virus updates and do a full scan.

Its the Klez.H virus and its a right fck to get rid of if you get it!!

no msg, no attachments but 125kb in size

strange

I havent had one of those for a while but i did get some off members that i have never had previous contact with.

My PC keeps diconnecting wich is a swine.

[frog_southampton]

anyone know a patch?

[Dicko]

you see it says no attachemnt, but there IS you just cant see it in hotmail!!

[joeczucha]

on attachments coz microsoft is scanning and deleting all instances of the klez.h virus to try and control it - i think aol are doing the same. i got one from opelnova...

[Stuart]

Oh, Dicko, when did u add me 2 hotmail?

ive got some weird pop up thing on mine

[Dicko]

wierd popup thing? thats very helpful anton :roll:

do the mean the messenger alerts thing?

best thing to do is use something like norton2003 and have your hotmail get delivered to outlook and not use the webmail (hotmail website).

my comp keeps being floaded with pop-ups

and also I have difficulty uploading things

What, like the 'oh no, my tails popped out!' bear on Bo Selecta?

[Dicko]

flooded as in many at the same time, or they keep popping up every so often?

search for a program called 'adserve' it gets rid of spyware. also do you use kazaa or a similar program as thse generate popups (try using kazaalite insted)
