Not MS, but The Santa Cruz Organization (SCO) at »www.sco.com/ |

I've received the Novarg variant of MyDoom three times in the past 12 hours. NAV caught them, along with something called "Trojan.Downloader.Inor". Here we go again |

| im no rocket scientist, but i'll be willing to bet that it has a impact on your mail server, along side with used cpu cycles, and im unsure of how much memory these bugs eat. You can also bet on some lag on your internet connection probably.

I use webwasher to filter them out, so I do not even get them into my mail reader.
My Yahoo mail has none, hotmail surprisingly only had 1.

Re: Bad effects?
The Blaster Worm crashed the RPC Server and made your computer reboot. I do DSL tech support so I'm just curious if there will be anything that will give away an infected computer.

It sends 200 emails a minute, probably avg. 2 to 3k per email, what do you think? 
Some people may not notice much of a difference except in speedtests.

Re: Poor poor SCO
I suppose that's what happens when you start off as a prominent Linux OS provider and then decide to do a complete about face regarding open source and going to bed with the "enemy" (signing with Microsoft).
You would figure people would know better by now NOT to open attachments from strange email. |

When the worm is launched, a Notepad window will appear on screen with garbage text.
The existence of the file shimgapi.dll in the Windows System folder indicates an infection.
Network indications would include listening on TCP port 3127 thru 3198, and large amounts of outgoing SMTP traffic due to the mass mailer functionality.
From February 1 through 12, infected machines will also repeatedly hit www.sco.com in a DDoS attack. |

DDoS, I always thought it was funny...ok, they have well over a week to prepare. All you have to do is turn of ICMP echo on their router or firewall. Then DDoS attacks would be null.

Re: Poor poor SCO
Agreed. SCO has really set off the internet fart of our present days.
I would not doubt if SCO made the virus, just to look like poor old innocent VICTIMS, who get their CODE stolen and are attacked constantly.
