Thumbs up

My suggestion is: the sender should write 'Team Camaro' in the title block of the message so the receiver would know its origin of being sent by a fellow member.

Everyone,

Sure it could be from a fellow TC member! However if it's being sent from a member, do him a favor and send something back letting him know that you suspect that he may been infected with the Netsky or Bagle virus and that they should inspect their PC as they are sending copies of these to everyone in their address books
The way that these virus' spread is that the virus sends itself to everyone in the users address book without the user knowing

Best of luck,

Tom

Welcome to the world of the "W32/NETSKY.C@MM" virus.

I guess it looks like someone on this site has been infected. It isnt harmful, but it does however suck up e-mail addresses thou.....

Tim, I'm the Activities Director for my local Camaro club, so I get tons and tons of emails, but not from TC folks...I do however get a bunch that say "delivery failure" and I never sent them I have run different virus protection software and can't find any problems...

The "From" is spoofed so e-mailing the sender isn't helping anything.


Here's more on this current worm...

I get those also. The reason why is:

Your email address is in the computer of the person who has the virus. The virus uses the email addresses (in the infected comp) to send the virus emails. It will use the email addresses in the infected computer as the sender (so you cant trace where it originated) and sends it to another email address it finds in the infected computer. I hope this makes sense. You get the message back that the message was undeliverable because it (the infected comp) used your email address and it was actually undeliverable.

You more than likely do not have a virus in your computer.

That's a great idea, I just went and changed mine. I didnt think the virus could work that way.
