Mazy Posted March 14, 2004 Report Posted March 14, 2004 Ive recently been getting lots of virus mails/getting mails about me sending virus emails, and Ive come to the conclusion that I have "I-Worm.Netsky.d". Anyway, its a pretty widespread worm, and Im pretty sure some of you have probably had it. The prob is that Ive been trying loads of shit (socalled remover programs that doesnt remove shit, virus programs n so on) without any luck. So I was wondering if anybody here have had this worm and know how to get rid of it. bluh Quote
RD Posted March 14, 2004 Report Posted March 14, 2004 ya ive been getting alot of mails the last week or 2 2!!!! ive got the latest Norton but it doesnt find it. Also its kinda strange that it only floods one of my eight inboxes, and its the one that i use to register evrywhere. Quote
Mazy Posted March 14, 2004 Author Report Posted March 14, 2004 hmmm i havent used this mail for registering at any places at all, i learned that from another time where i started getting like 1000s of mails each day D: but ive been reading a bit into fiddling with the registry of windows n removing it that way, hmm~ Quote
spine Posted March 14, 2004 Report Posted March 14, 2004 I think I have that aswell, well I never down load mail to my own comp but have mail acount on different places, so I guess I cant do anything about that... It must be up to the mail account server to fix that, isn't it? Quote
skdr Posted March 14, 2004 Report Posted March 14, 2004 I get approx ~150 virus emails / day and I dont have any viruses on my computer. If you get alot mail it doesnt mean that you have the virus. How do you know you have that exact netsky virus? Quote

mawibse Posted March 15, 2004 Report Posted March 15, 2004 It uses the web cache on the infected machine to both find taraget mail adresses and to fake as sender adress. This means that if you're mail is somewhere on the web you'll both receive the virus and mailservers/viruscheckers will think you tried to send it to others. You may not actually have it, bottom line, dont ever open an attachement you don't KNOW what it is. Quote
Mazy Posted March 18, 2004 Author Report Posted March 18, 2004 yah i am aware that it sorta bounces back and forth, but ive been checking on stuff on my computer n i got all the symptoms of netsky.d (files, registry stuff etc.) I donno, gotta get rid of it somehow~hmhm~ im up to 12 mails per day now, but im guessing that ill get 100 per day in 1 month :G hmmm Quote
