Ive been getting alot of the W32.Netsky.K@mm Virus lately, has anyone else?

[illusion88]

Hm? Im probably getting 3 a day in my email. Anyone else getting them? They come in a .pdf file with some lame message heading called RE:your message, or RE:your website, something like that. Anyone else getting this or is just me?

w32.netsky.k@mm

EDIT: If the system time is between 6:00 A.M. and 9:00 A.M. on Tuesday, March 2, 2004, the PC speaker will beep in a continuous loop. Each beep will be for a random period of time, at a random frequency.


Haha, my favorite part about this worm. Excelent, imagine what that would sound like in a giant office building. 1000 computers all with a constant beep. Too bad that date already passed.

I've never gotten any viruses via e-mail.

yeah, my other computer (dfferent email) hasnt gotten any, so I was just wondering If I was the only poor soul who has to hit Quarantine three times a day, then go out and delete that whole deal.

 

[Allio]

Got one today.

 

[spaceman]

daily

 

[jadinolf]

My ISP blocks the viruses and sends me an email telling me that it did so but yes, I'm getting them every day.
*&*%$&*( netsky!

 

[chibchakan]

I got about a dozen last week.

 

[RagingBITCH]

About 5 a day at work.

 

[illusion88]

bump because I am getting these in friggin waves now. 3 out of 4 emails. WTF.

 

[tm37]

I actually got infected today
W32.Netsky.P@mm

I had sent an email to my self called data.zip and then the email was also data.zip.

I was not paying attention I saw the attachement of data.zip and then opened it.

Then I can see the NAV outbound mail scanner going like crazy and I pulled the plug.

I did not run the Live-up date today, But I downloaded the new defs and threw it on a USB thumb drive and then I ran the update and ran the fix tool.

Every thing seems to be OK now.

I am sending out a mass email to all thoose in my address book as soon as my main system finishes it's boot.

I feel so Stupid.

 

[Talon]

I had 3 come through last week.

 

[Babbles]

Just going to say I got about 6 or so in the past two days.

 

[TheGameIs21]

We are seeing a sudden explosion of Nachi up here too. I think Netsky disables Mcafee long enough to get re-infected.

 

[Czesia]

Ya, what's up with that? I get about 3-5 a day on my yahoo account. Is there any way around that? It's only been in the last few weeks.

 

[NetGuySC]

Other than this, no i am not getting any viruses, but then again I am not running antivirus at the moment.

We've been getting about 50-70 a day in a 70+ user exchange environment.

 

[DnetMHZ]

I've gotten at least 30+ netsky.p this morning alone.. it's only 11:15

The notifications from our scanners are piling up in my inbox.

 

[Sid59]

no viruses ever here.

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

I've never been infected with a virus via email.

 

[PanzerIV]

In the past few weeks I have cleaned so many viruses off systems here at work that somehow have been slipping in past our scanner. It's been driving me nuts. Not to mention the computer I had to do for my boss's husband which had about everything you can think of on it. This is the second time I had to get that thing in working order for him. He must click any and everything he sees. **sigh** The worst part is I have to do it for free when I could have made a lot of money off of him.

 

[Nitemare]

One of my home machines just got infected with Netsky.q, this was with the latest version of Norton Internet Security and dat files...which did not detect it. I only realized this because I had a slew of messages that the virus sent from my computer bounced back.

Removal instructions

Thanks Norton

 

[ShotgunSteven]

I've been getting several, claiming to be from the forums of Baen.Com Bar.Baen.Com. Oddly enough, the forums died the same time I started getting these, and are apparently still down. I don't know if they got hacked, or if the problem is something else.

EDIT: Scratch that, as of this morning they're back up.

 

[rh71]

They've tapered off for me. Was getting about 5-10 a day early March but now, hardly any.

 

[CraigRT]

I'm (as well as everyone else in the building) getting a lot of Netsky.P's

like, i have one computer scanning right now.. 165 Netsky.P's so far!

i hate this piece of crap!
