~*~*WARNING: MyLife Virus Spreading*~*~

A warning to all. . . be on the lookout for this virus.

March 22 — A dangerous new computer virus dubbed “MyLife” started spreading steadily around the Internet last night. A massive outbreak is not expected, but the bug is rated a medium risk by many antivirus firms because its payload is nasty. MyLife deletes critical system files from infected machines, potentially rendering them unusable. The virus is also noteworthy because the author attempts to trick recipients into thinking the e-mail attachment is safe by including text to suggest the note has been declared “virus-free” by McAfee antivirus software.

Good heads up! :)

It is also known as the Bill Clinton virus.

hmmm that sounds good :airoff:

Time to update my virus scan.

Any vaccine for this?

Delete all files detected as W32.MyLife.B@mm or W32.Caric@mm and remove the value that it added to the registry

I think rouge is blowing this a bit out of context here`s the real story

Got that alert a few days ago, but it not only propagates itself through Outlook, but also MSN Messenger(hotmail)....

Ouroboros

I actually got an email from my ISP warning about this virus....first time in about two years of service with them that they sent out a mass mailing about a virus... :(

LMAO! ! ! Ur 2nd post. . . and thats all you had to say? And how may I ask am I blowing this out of context? All I did was post a link to the story. If you have a problem with me please do PM me so we can get things straightened out. Peace. . .

Why do I feel this is something else us linux users don't have to lie awake at night worrying about... Another day, another Windows virus. Let me guess, It'll rock up in your email mentioning how funny the attached executable is, then trash a couple of files, then send itself to everyone in your outlook address book. Yawn.... Nothing new...
