| 176302 | 2003-09-18 22:29:00 | I very rarely receive viruses via email, but since I received four today purporting to be from Microsoft Internet Security and to install a security patch for IE, O and OE (deleted by IHUG's ISpy) I thought I would warn everyone to be vigilant. I am not sure what the virus was but two of the file names were upgrade465.exe and gdall.exe. Oxie (Lyn) |

| 176303 | 2003-09-18 23:06:00 | Well, now I have received six emails in a matter of hours. The virus doing the rounds is Worm_Swen.a. Read about it here (www.symantec.com) | Oxie (1318) | ||
| 176304 | 2003-09-19 03:01:00 | As a matter of interest is anyone else receiving these viruses, or is it just me? I have had at least 12 today. Oxie (Lyn) |

| 176305 | 2003-09-19 04:00:00 | Yes, I've had at leasy twenty since 6 am. today. The funny thing is that the first ones did not contain a virus. The last ten or so have. Luckily Norton picked them up. Jack |

| 176306 | 2003-09-19 04:22:00 | JJJJJ Yes only half of mine contained the virus and the other dozen didn't. I wonder when they are going to stop coming. Lyn (Oxie) |

| 176307 | 2003-09-19 04:28:00 | Hi Oxie, Looks like AVG was a little late to catch that I-worm Swen.a,as they only updated at mid-night(our time) Symantec on the otherhand,as always updated their ref-files a day earlier! Bad luck eh? Cheers,Kiwitas,;-) |

| 176308 | 2003-09-19 04:38:00 | Wow, that is bad luck. I am thankful I updated yesterday and I must say I am impressed that IHUG's ISPY has picked it up all day which means they do keep up-to-date. Oxie (Lyn) |

| 176309 | 2003-09-19 05:17:00 | I received 3 yesterday and they all picked up by NAV. Surprisingly Xtra did not pick them up! Cheers |
