Opinari.net

Opinari - Latin term for Opinion. Opinari.net is just what it seems: a cornucopia of rants, raves and poignant soliloquy.

Yet another virus....

And this one seems to be much more active than others.

W32.Netsky.C is a mass-mailing worm that uses its own SMTP engine to send itself to the email addresses it finds when scanning hard drives and mapped drives. This worm also searches drives C through Y for the folder names containing "Shar" and then copies itself to those folders.

The Subject, Body, and email attachment vary.


We've basically disabled all email attachments in our IT shop. It's a real pain in the ass, but this is what happens when ignorance is the norm among the plebescite.

Once more, to anyone who may be listening, DON'T OPEN FILE ATTACHMENTS obtained via email, unless you have confirmed the content through the sender.
