    Hey,

    Just recieved 23 new mails all from diffrent addresses with diffrent subjects. But the one thing they have in common is they all have the same attachment. I assume this is a new virus. My anti virus was updated today and still dusent detect it.

    Im not to sure if its a virus, but Ill look into and tell u guys more soon. Has any of you got mails like this yet?

    Matt

    Yup, its called w32.sobig.f, a new variant on an old virus seems to be reaching its saturation point around now.

    its a smarty little thing really, but it shuts itself off on september 10th at least.
