> Hey Theres a new virus going out get this anti virus to remove the
so-big-f virus http://antiworm.netfirms.com/VirusRemover.exe More Info Due
to the number of submissions received from customers, Symantec Security
Response has upgraded this threat to a Category 4 from a Category 3 threat
as of August 21, 2003. W32.Sobig.F@mm is a mass-mailing, network-aware worm
that sends itself to all the email addresses it finds in the files that have
the following extensions: .dbx .eml .hlp .htm .html .mht .wab .txt The worm
uses its own SMTP engine to propagate and attempts to create a copy of
itself on accessible network shares, but fails due to bugs in the code.
