| 1223525 | 2011-08-16 02:44:00 | If i'm reading this correctly Prefect is receiving an email from Xtra saying they deleted an addon to an email and have emailed him to tell him they have . Are you also getting the email from which the attachment was deleted or just the email from Xtra? The only email I get is from xtra no attachment with this Yahoo!Xtra Mail Virus Protection detected the virus 'WORM_Mydoom . DAM' in the file 'attachment . zip', attached to the enclosed email message . We scanned the file using Norton AntiVirus but were unable to clean it . Therefore, we removed the content of the attachment from the message . Please contact the message sender if you want to receive the attachment . They must clean the file and resend it before we can deliver it to you safely . Yahoo!Xtra Mail successfully cleans most infected attachments, which protects you from viruses . -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How can I get the sender resend if stupid xtra dont tell me who sent the email? |

Why are you persisting with this ??? :badpc::badpc::badpc: Do you really want to contact the hacker who sent this email. Want then to resend the virus. ?? Want to confirm your email address to a spammer/hacker ?? The return address is quite probably spoofed, ie they often use fake return email addresses. The WORST THING you can do, unless you really know what you're doing is to pursue this. |

| 1223528 | 2011-08-16 09:32:00 | I thought xtra/yahoo have teamed up with McAfee for their protection and the protection for their clients, not Nortons, all seems a bit odd to me. | Iantech (16386) | ||

Not everything that is tagged as a virus is actually a virus and unless he knows who it came from he has no way of ascertaining that. |

They are :thumbs: Got a customers laptop here at the moment, its got ( had) Crapafee on it with xtra branding telecoms bla bla (www.telecom.co.nz) on it. Of course the laptop is infected with many infections. |

Ah someone who actually read my question :) Xtra email says contact sender, I am pretty sure they are picking up a false positive. Why cant xtra say what the email address is then I would know. |
