And for God’s sake, DON’T bounce the emails back!

That’s just more traffic going to an email account that doesn’t exist, or isn’t aware that it’s compromised. We all suffer that way.

major flaw in OS, lol… it is possible for a non authorized user to get into and drive away your car, if they TRY HARD enough, and RISK punishment for crime.

I would…I’m a windoze user and wouldn’t know the difference, when it comes to the linux/unix/which other flavor you want to pick i don’t know up from down. sad thing..i run a network and really haven’t a clue. i guess i’m envious because the redhatters seem to be able to really get the stuff done….but i do strip the pifs from coming in. just cant tell how to close my open relay…hmm…

And like nearly all other worms and viruses, it only affects moronic users who open attachments when they don’t know what they are. These same people will gladly run “vmail.bin” or “vmail.sh”

Like there are no virus and worms for Mac or Linux.

There is no virus for the TRS-80 Model 1. Does that make it better?

How about GameBoy?

If you are going to exploit, you exploit the one with the major market share. You don’t waste your time with the small stuff.

And like all other worms and viruses, it only affects Windoze machines. Oh well.

This only goes to show that you should never open suspicious attachments, particularly those with .pif extensions!

Does this particular Worm open automatically if you just point to the email message, as in Auto Preview, or do you have to open the attachment? If you have to manually open the attachment, stay away!

Like all other worms and viruses and other stuff that destroy the system it explits the major flaw in the OS: opportunity to start
a program without a permition of the user and opportunity to record
on the harddrive without the permition of the user. Both features can be inplemented if the consumers demanded it.
