Hey doug what the heck is with the spam from this site!

I'm getting swarmed with emails from this site, I've gotten about 20 from you alone from all the sites you manage and belong to. I'm getting emails from members on this site that I know there email but I don't know why I'm getting them. There blank emails with headings like, your details, wicked screen savers, and the list goes on and on.

What the heck is going on, I usually have about 100 emails a day, in the past two days I've recieved over 1000 emails.

is anyone else getting this

That is the Sobig.f@MM virus. It's a mass mailer. Make sure your machine is protected.


To let you know how bad this virus has spread, our 5 email servers at work deleted it over 1500 times from 3:00 pm yesterday until 10:00 am this morning. We are getting hit about 4 times worse than when the Klez virus came out.

I don't know how many major companies were infected by it but I do know Fedex was one of them.

Anything with these Subject lines or Attachments have the virus.

Subject:
Re: Thank you!
Re: Details
Re: Re: My details
Re: Approved
Re: Your application
Re: Wicked screensaver
Re: That movie

Attachment:
your_document_all.pif
document_all.pif
thank_you.pif
your_details.pif
details.pif
document_9446.pif
application.pif
wicked_scr.scr

By checking the email header and doing a little research, you can see that the from: address was faked by the virus.
