I'm worried that I've somehow gotten the W32.Mytob
virus. Earlier
this afternoon, I received the below email:
from xxxxxx...@xxxxxxxxxbinary attachment.
to xxxxxx...@xxxxxxxxx (me)
date Nov 28, 2007 9:50 PM
subject Virus Found in message "Hello"
Symantec AntiVirus found a virus in an attachment
from
xxxxxx...@xxxxxxxxxx
Attachment: bbkiu.zip
Threat: W32.Mytob.AG@mm
Action taken: Quarantine succeeded
File status: Infected
The message contains Unicode characters and has
been sent as a
bbkiu.zip
1K Download
It surprised me, and while I do have Symantec
AntiVirus, I'm not sure
how Symantec got to this email, since it was on
Gmail's webmail
interface (it didn't look like Gmail's built-in
anti-virus either --
it will display something about a virus next to the
attachment, I
believe). Or, even, that it did at all -- I know
many viruses
masquerade as anti-virus messages. So, I didn't
download anything and
went on my merry business, thinking that whatever it
was, as long as
I didn't download anything, I wouldn't get infected.
But later, I got the below "returned-to-sender"
email. I'm concerned
that the virus somehow got on to one of my computers
and is sending
emails. I'm running virus scans on both my
computers, neither of
which have turned up anything, and I'm about to run
the W32.Mytob@mm
Removal Tool from Symantec.
Is this something I need to be worried about?
P.S. "xx...@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" is not anyone I
know or that would
be in my address book
This is the returned-to-sender email I got:
from Mail Delivery Systemback to

But that's quite a coincidence, then, that I got one
message (the
first one was from a person I know, by the way), and
then a few hours
later I got a returned-to-sender message implying
that I'm sending the
exact same emails as the one I reveived.
But it's believable since you don't even have the savvy
to post, quote or even trim correctly. If your only
intent is to circumvent offered assistance with
improperly quoted posts, go finish your tests and
relax.
