EMAIL VIRUS

[SERG]

I recently received an email from office@discontinuum.org with the subject title as:  ID bbynrtdixu... thanks Then in the body of the email it gave me: Yours ID trxmioeckr There is also an application to be opened.

This morning I received an email about a virus going around. Here is the body of that email:

> There is a new virus spreading extremely rapidly on the
Internet.
> Because this virus "spoofs" (or fakes) the FROM address
of the e-mail
> message, it could appear to be from someone you know.
Here are the
> characteristics of the message:
>
> Subject: ID a bunch of random characters -- for example,
Subject: ID
> iwdxsp

> Body of the email: Yours ID a bunch of random characters
--- these will
> probably NOT be the same as the ones in the subject line
>
> Attachment name:  7 random characters.exe --- for
example, uyoqfmw.exe
>
>
> DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT. Delete the message. If you

This is exactly what I received. Has anyone else received this? I'm assuming Discontinuum did not send this email.

You are correct, the email did not come from Jim.
Sounds like you got a copy of the Bagel.B virus
