Hmm, in my junk mail. There have been alot of emails with the netsky virus as an attachment in my junk mail, some I know of some I don't.
Thanks to yahoo mail, I am protected from getting it through attachments, at least I think.
It will say:
Scan result: Virus "W32.Netsky.B@mm" found.
You can not download this attachment. You have two options:
1. Sign up for Yahoo! Mail Plus to get automatic cleaning of infected attachments. Learn more.
(Note: Not all viruses can be cleaned.)
2. Contact the message sender and request that they resend the attachment to you after cleaning it with anti-virus software.
So far, the ones that have netsky the attachments are titled:
nomoney.zip
me.htm.exe
swimmingpool.pif
The titles of the email will be something like:
something for you
hello
hi
information
stolen
How exactly does Netsky work?
Well, two weeks ago, I did a current event on it, and I guess it will use the computers that it infects to spread the virus.
