you have a virus on your system sending mails with a virus attached (DC0.EXE) to people in your address book...

while it delights me that you have a virus on your system.. any email received from you, accidental or intentional, is unwelcome...

ho has received these virus laden e-mails too... either invest in some decent anti-virus software and remove the malicious code from your system, or remove myself and ho from your address book

Yeah well you can blame someone else for that *Looks at the Fatman* I just thought I would share it out. Didn't you recieve my 'Viri Warning' Email I sent out? Oh dear you must have missed my mind images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

And I did post another one of my subtle posts the other day about it. You must have missed it. After all it was hidden behind the words DC0.EXE contains viri... Easy to miss I guess...

Although Emetic didn't...

so you've known about it for a while, yet are still infected.. *sigh*

luckily you've only got a fairly harmless virus.. just an irritant really...

oh i just assumed it was harmless.......

here's a few quotes from the info on the virus...

<BLOCKQUOTE>quoteIf an active Internet connection exists, the virus searches for up to five .doc and .txt files and chooses a random number of words from one of these files. These words are used to construct the subject and message body of the email message. Then the virus searches for up to 20 .exe and .scr files smaller than 128 KB, infects one of these files, attaches the infected file to the new message, and sends this message to up to 100 people from the address books. In addition there is a 20-percent chance that it will attach the file from which the subject and message body was taken, and an 80-percent chance that it will add the number 1 to the second character of the sender address. This last change prevents replies from being returned to you and possibly alerting you to the infection.

hmm.. sounds pretty much like the kind of mails we got...
seems to me to be just an irritating bug.. easy to ignore.. just apologise in advance for dodgy emails (but be careful not to have anything incriminating it can send people)

but then i read on....

oh joy.. it has a payload...

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>If the computer has been infected for one month and at least 100 people have been sent an infected file, and if at least three files contain at least three examples from the following list:

(blah blah blah)

then the virus will activate the first of its payloads. This payload is similar to that of W32.Kriz, and it does the following:

Deletes the infected file

Erases CMOS (Windows 9x/Me only)

Erases the Flash BIOS (Windows 9x/Me only)

Overwrites every 25th file with the text YOUARESHIT as many times as it will fit in the file

Deletes every other file

Displays the following message:
http://website.lineone.net/~mitchy2k/payload.gif

Overwrites a sector of the first hard disk

This payload is repeated infinitely.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

oh.. but theres more...

<BLOCKQUOTE>quoteIf the computer has been infected for two months, then on odd days the desktop icons are repositioned whenever the mouse pointer approaches, giving the impression that the icons are "running away" from the mouse

Yeah I guess Im lucky, what with me not not having a clue about PC's and not being fully backed up an'all, that Emetic kindly explained to Sparky how to F Disk the other day, I would have been fucked eh?

Or maybe I'm waiting for some mail...

Hmmm... I did wonder...
Seems like someones trying to make it look like it's from you. It originaly came from someone using Scrawines email address (well a bogus one as it turns out. Hence infection! Doh!). Has anyone else received it from Scraws email? No? I didn't think so.
So it could only be one of a few... But that's not why I 'looked' at you,(and NO not in a faggoty kinda way, before some smartarse comments!). I'll email/MSN tommorow if your curious as to why.

Then I apologise.
But if I'd asked you directly I would have had doubts on your answer (just being honest, you all know how paranoid I am/can be. And rightly so as it turns out!). At least with you out the picture, it really narrows down the field as to who the desperate deciever is...

Once again, this asswipe apologises for dirtying your good name. images/smiles/icon_redface.gif
