I'm getting a ton of these on my Hotmail account which is what I use for ng's and subscriptions. I've set my account to automatically delete these posts so nothing has hit my mail box. Thankfully. Also, I look at replies to large posts on the ng's and not the original message. I consider them suspect at best. -- (`'�.�(`'�.�*�*�.�'�)�.�'�) ���`�.�*katie**�.���`� (�.�'�(�.�'�*�*`'�.�)`'�.�) Helena's Sim Estates http://www.simbella.com/helena/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HelenaSimEstates/ "McEve" <mc...@azcappy.com> wrote in message news:bkfjs6$164sr$1@ID-90739.news.uni-berlin.de... > > "Darktyger" <darktyger@overthere.nothere> wrote in message >> > Does it, perhaps, send out copies of itself by hijacking the infected > > system's email/usenet programs and sending itself out? > > Indeed it does > > http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.swen.a@mm.html > > I'm getting 100 mails an hour as we speak.
