The Dink Network

I am sorry to tell you that some of your email accounts have viruses in them.

This is the column where Dinkers from for and wide tell if they got emails saying
Re:Your ****
Here is the file.

from Dinkers. Mention the exact email so that the people infected with a virus will know who they are and try to eradicate it.

wc@dinksmallwood.net

Most probably someone else then WC has been infected but that worm uses the adressbook and spoofs the "from" part. (Example: You could recieve a mail from Tal but actually it came from Kyle)

lol that makes the mystery a little bigger.

Also it would help those certain users to tell them which Virus you recieved from them. (and lookup the info about the virus)

I highly doubt it's me. I run The latest norton and I am protected by 2 firewalls (hardware and a software). Not only that but I just checked the log from NAV (which logs all scanned ingoing and outgoing e-mails), and it shows nothing. It is probably using my e-mail addy because I posted it in the WDE crash topic.

That virus is w32.netsky.d@mm

From Norton's Virus Encyclopedia:

W32.Netsky.D@mm is a mass-mailing worm that is a variant of W32.Netsky.C@mm. The worm scans drives C through Z for email addresses and sends itself to those that are found.

The Subject, Body, and Attachment names vary. The attachment will have a .pif file extension.

Also Known As: WORM_NETSKY.D [Trend], W32/Netsky.d@MM [McAfee], W32/Netsky.D.worm [Panda], W32/Netsky-D [Sophos], Win32.Netsky.D [Computer Associates], I-Worm.Netsky.d [Kaspersky]
Variants: W32.Netsky.C@mm, W32.Netsky.gen@mm
Type: Worm
Infection Length: 17,424 bytes
Systems Affected: Windows 2000, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows XP
Systems Not Affected: Linux, Macintosh, UNIX, Windows 3.x

It is that virus. But I'm putting down the names here so we can discover who talks to whom.

So.. the SMTP protocol makes it that person A can send something to B but one can make it look like C sent something to D. And virusses do this without you even knowing.

Basically, everyone should have some kind of protection against virusses and that should do it, it would make one of a puzzle to figure it all out ourselves.
