Larry's virus mail was instantly spotted and deleted, like all the others I have
received from various sources in the past few days - around 2-3 each time I
download.
It really is nasty work.
Tip for Outlook Express (and Outlook) - enable showing of file size in your
inbox
(View/columns and tick the size box). Now the virus sticks out like a sore
thumb, it
is 40k in size. Just right click and delete, DO NOT open it at all. Even with
the
MS patch installed I am not convinced it is safe.
Note also that the email address of the sender is prefixed by an underscore _
so that
[email protected] appears as [email protected]. Possibly one
could
set up a filter using this.
Apparantly this virus is being stopped in the commercial world by their
firewalls,
most appear to be coming from domestic users.
