another virus alert

[mousewings]

In an attempt to contribute to the cluttering of this board, I'm posting this.

The W32.Sobig.A@mm worm is sent from big@boss.com and is sent to the addresses found certain files. This thing is spreading.

It has a subject of:
Re: Movies
Re: Sample
Re: Document
or
Re: Here is that sample

and has an attachment of:
Movie_0074.mpeg.pif
Document003.pif t
Untitled1.pif
or
Sample.pif

It attempts to copy itself to different files and sends a message to pagers.icq.com.

Just don't open the message.

Scream "PIFF" at the top of your lungs?
....If it would be something like "Wooooohaaaargh!!", okay..
But "PIFF"?
PIIIIIIIIFFFFF?
Or
PIFFFFFFFFFFF?
Screaming?

Ah! *runs to How-Do-You-Feel-Thread*

@grandwazoo: no, it's a short sort of battle-cry, more like all of a sudden standing up in the middle of a crowded room and shouting a brief but merciless PIF! that will rock the world on its very foundations.

Sounds more like a Pokemon sound.

Pif pif pif pif piiiiiiif pif pif pif piffffifififififfff!

Piffachu!
:s Riiight.
Well yeah, if it's a really big Pokemon, it might rock the world on its very foundations. Or a metalpokemon, vielleicht.
