[OT]-Wierd virus

[Kasamiko]

I just check my mail today and received a lots of mail with virus attachment!!  
One thing that shock me is that I have one mail (with the virus) that the sender is ME also!!!
What should I do??

Rhonn,

What kind of anti virus software do you have?

I get 15 to 20 of these per day. Since they appear to be coming from legitimate e-mail addresses, there is not much you can do but delete. I have told everyone that I e-mail, that I will never send them an e-mail with no description of the attachment, so that no one opens one with my e-mail address on it. I also never send a generic e-mail. My frst line always includes the name of the person I send it to. They also know I will never send an e-mail with nothing in the text field. This is a good indication that it is a virus.
I just delete the viruses when I get them. They are harmless unless you click on the attachment. Then hopefully, you have good virus software.
The reason you get them from yourself is because your e-mail address was in someone's address book who was infected by this virus. It is able to spoof all of the addresses in that address book.

I'm using PCCillin Trend Micro Internet Security with the latest .DAT file.

@MP
You're right MP, I just deleted them. If you're using Yahoo's account if the attachment contains some virus, it wont allow you do DL the file. But it is very annoying   sorting legitemate and infected file..

If you suspect that you have the Virus and you know what it's name is you can get a removal tool for that Virus from Norton for free.

I was hit with sasser worm!!!
It was easy to remove with removal tools from Microsoft..
