I know Europe is behind the US on viruses spreading, but I got one domain which is being heavily spammed with the......

"Please see the attached file for details." (100k file) WORM_SOBIG.F

I've been on holiday for the last week...... so I have no info.

Is Norton enough at the moment?

It depends on which version of SoBig you have as well as the version of Norton...

Nah I dont think it's gonna get you if you dont download the file.

Thanks to Danger Dave, I now you use both products from Fire Trust (Mail Washer Pro & Benin). My shiznit is always clean like I just left the clinic.

I installed Mail waher pro yesterday and some weird stuff started to happen..
Could not open links in my browser (they would hang)
Javascript would hang too..
I had to reregister a dozen or more .dll files to get it back to snuff..

Well, something must be working somewhere, cuze my one account that was getting about 100 an hour, is down to only about 50 an hour... YEAH!
At this rate, I will be able to turn that email account back on in another few weeks.

My inbox/trash folder's are not fillking up as much as before either (knock on wood)

Norton has only crashed once since I reinstalled it - LOL (knock on wood again)

Really Amber? Wow thats strange I have installed that on just about all of our systems (thanks to Danger Dave), and we havent had any issues, I especially like that Benin program, youd be surprised how many people dont recieve info back that you read their email (Spammers). So they dont send more because you opened their first one. Sorry bout that Amber.
