WORM_NETSKY.P also called w32-netsky. This is the one that my I.P. keeps telling me they are blocking and it has been coming from a lot of places but only one that I know. I know I am safe but thought I would let you guys know it is running around.

try doing a google search for the email address the netsky virus is being sent to <Yours> as well as a search for some of the so called email adresses that are sending you the virus. Usally if these 2 searches turn up the same website or webpage, then that is usally where I would start looking If you find such a page, I would email the owner to see if you can get your email munged there or taken off completely. Of course it may just be grabbing at straws since I think netsky forges the names anyway.

One of the addresses was my sister-in-law. But I can't get a hold of her to talk about it.

Possible new virus going on as I keep getting this email sent from Russia

They must really think people are dumb.

Thought I would pass this on to folks here as I just got the email from the makers or sellers of mail washer. I don't know if the virus makers have updated their sigs yet to catch this, so I am relaying it unchanged.

Of cours most of us know not to open attachments as he states below

I'm sending you this newsletter to alert you to a nasty email virus which has just appeared. At the time of writing this newsletter, the antivirus companies don't appear to have updated their signatures to catch this virus.
