Update 1139 (or later) to the free InoculateIT Personal Edition (antivirus.cai.com) also detects this VBS worm.

i can't believe that it took all this amount of time to prove that she(anna) was a contaminating virus in the world!! it was obvious to me for some time now!!

Turns out there was a good side to this event - immediately after spewing emails to several hundred contacts, I sent another "Don't open the previous email" blast email ... I heard from a lot of folks I haven't talked w/ in ages and had fun catching you-know-what from old friends today http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

If you did get "infected" by a virus, at least it was from Anna Kournikova http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Also, put in filter to delete all .VBS attachments as well.



How do you put in such a filter. I use Outloook express and the tools option does not seem to give me sa conditional test for attatchments??

Any help would be great

Have absolutely no idea if this is kosher or not, but in today's email. Seeing the magic word UPGRADE is in heading, thought I better pass it on, for what its worth. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

IF YOU RECEIVE AN E-MAIL THAT READS "UPGRADE INTERNET2" DO NOT OPEN IT, AS IT CONTAINS AN EXECUTABLE NAMED "PERRIN.EXE." IT WILL ERASE ALL THE DATA IN YOUR HARD DRIVE AND IT WILL STAY IN MEMORY EVERY TIME THAT YOU UPLOAD ANY DATA, IT WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY ERASED AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE YOUR COMPUTER AGAIN. THIS INFORMATION WAS PUBLISHED YESTERDAY IN THE CNN WEB SITE.

Well, this is yet another virus hoax. See

Before passing "virus reports" on, might I suggest we all check http://www.snopes.com or http://vil.mcafee.com/hoax.asp?
