The solution I used to delete it worked perfectly, and checking the emails on the server before downloading them seems to be a good way not to be contaminated (possible with wanadoo.fr in France) | | | Sender's address is spoofed | Aug 20, 2003 |
What's important to note here is that the sender's address shown is not genuine - recent email worms usually combine sender's adress, recipient's address and reference line at random. IOW the chances of that message having been sent by Marta are extremely remote - what is certain is that the infected system sending the message had Marta's address stored. Best regards, Ralf | |

I clearly didn\'t mean Marta was the sender, and I share your point of view, I just posted this topic because I thought that other ProZ members were at risk of being infected too, and apparently this worm is quite new in France.

Hi Marie, I clearly didn't mean Marta was the sender, and I share your point of view, I just posted this topic because I thought that other ProZ members were at risk of being infected too, and apparently this worm is quite new in France. I know you didn't want to implicate Marta - it's just that we had loads of misunderstandings when the Bugbear worm (IIRC the first worm to spoof addresses) started spreading. Sobig as such isn't that new, but the Sobig.F variant is - and it seems to be very aggressive, judging by the number of reported attacks or contaminations. Thanks for posting the warning.
