I also got WICKED.SCR from admin@yahoo.com (yeah right!), NAV picked it up right away and said bye bye, off you go to quarantine! Unbelivable that some people still open attachments from total strangers. Then again, those types of people keep me in business, so I shouldn't complain! :P
Heaps of virus's*(virii?) going around this week! Most of them seem to be self spreading email/address book types too. I wish there was some way of removing my address from some of my 'less educated' friends email address books. Between NAV and ZAP it's grabbed about a half dozen that have hit my inbox in the past couple of days. I'll be glad when all this garbage slows back down (hopefully!) .
Yeah, Ed, I got 31 virus infested emails yesterday, all trasmitted via mine/friend/associates email contact list...scr, pif, and several new ones I never saw before!
Reminded me of the "old" days of Klez!!!
