[QUOTE="net1, post: 21924"] The latest variant of the Sobig computer virus picked up speed on Tuesday, ZDNet reports. Nearly 32,000 e-mail messages were blocked by e-mail service provider MessageLabs' mail gateway in the last 24 hours. The surge in e-mail messages containing the worm pushed Sobig.C to the top position on the U.K. company's list of most prevalent threats. Sobig.C is the third variant of the Sobig worm. It infects Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000 and XP systems when users open an attachment after receiving an e-mail generated by the program. The e-mail appears to come from [email]bill@microsoft.com[/email] or another spoofed e-mail adress, perhaps the adress of someone you know. The e-mail contains any of the following subject lines: Re: Movie Re: Submited (004756-3463) Re: 45443-343556 Re: Approved Approved Re: Your application Re: Application [/QUOTE]
