Re: Virus Alert/self executing
In Response To: Re: Virus Alert/Andy/Condoms ()

>>Actually, that is not all the way true. With the "Wscript.KakWorm" all you have to do is receive & read an infected e-mail message<<

My desktop at work got that one a few months ago, and I don't have any idea what email message it came in on. Given the open backdoor that Microsoft found as a result of this virus, it might have infected my computer just by receiving an email without intentionally reading it depending on the order it is received when you open your mailbox! The virus didn't do anything other than attach itself to an email that I sent out, but I didn't open any attachment to get that virus into my computer.
