Re: VIRUS: W32.Mytob.EY@mm on a Mac ???

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Many thanks everyone. I don't run VPC. I downloaded the latest Mac
definitions from Symantec after midnight (new defs 16th June) and a
virus scan has found (and quarantined for the moment) at least 6 copies
of WW.32.Mytob.EE@mm in the following path (roughly translated as I
have a French Office X):

Where: /Users/(me)/Documents/Microsoft Users Database/saved
attachments/account-details.txt 3.pif

On checking the Source of one arrival this morning, I found it had in
fact come from one of my clients, but was spoofing my domain name:

Received: from (my domain name) (ll.myclient.co.uk) [217.19.xxx.x])
....the numbers are not my IP address.

Thanks again for the help,

Tim
