Webmaster Forum / ASP / Database Access / September 2003All these correction packs, can't be genuine, must be virus ?
Whats happend to the ASP groups over the last couple of days - seem to be 'spam'ed to all over the place - used to be reasonably immune I assume all these "check this correction patch......." stuff must be from a new virus, not seen one hitting newgroups before - since MS never sends patches by email - anyone know its name They've been working on the filter, and resetting the newsgroup servers. But they can't catch all of them, hopefully their process is getting better... > Whats happend to the ASP groups over the last couple of days - seem to be > 'spam'ed to all over the place - used to be reasonably immune > > I assume all these "check this correction patch......." stuff must be from a > new virus, not seen one hitting newgroups before - since MS never sends > patches by email - anyone know its name > They've been working on the filter, and resetting the newsgroup servers. > But they can't catch all of them, hopefully their process is getting > better... They should disallow attachments and limit post size (toss a post if it exceeds the limit). > They should disallow attachments and limit post size (toss a post if it > exceeds the limit). I agree. Unfortunately, it has been tough to convince the rest of the crowd, but not for lack of trying... It is a virus: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.swen.a@mm.html which attempts to spread itself via email, IRC, newsgroups and the Kazaa network.
