The Latest Computer Virus

[ifraz]

Our companies email system is being hit hard with this one. I keep getting mail delivery failures for Notes I haven't even sent. Plus getting a Note every 10 minute from unknown people with lots of rubbish in it's content.

Yeah, same here. Our company's email system is very secure and in the past we have manged to stay away from the big virues.

Those of you who have emailed me at work in the past know how hard it is just to send a simple email to me

:D

We've blocked over 1000 of these emails already today.

I get a mail every time we block one - inbox of 200+ while i was out at lunch :)

Trickling in at 2 or 3 a minute currently with the odd burst now and then.

By far the most i've seen - beats both the biggies from last year.

Fortunately not getting in so far - keep them buggers out

I set up a rule in my outlook

any messages with the words "The message contains Unicode characters and has been sent as a binary attachment." do not download and delete off server

sorted!

Thanks for that I have just updated my outlook

I have been getting this today as well, I have got Norton and Bt security so far it has been blocked, I was a little concerned that I may have sent it to someone else as it said message returned, then I looked at the time and I was not even home.

I have done a virus check and it's says I am ok, how do we stop them getting in?
