Weird attachements lately

[Dean2002]

Good day all. I have been bombarded with phone calls about attchments received in emails. The emails are from mostly from people they don't know and they are batch files. Some of the emails are blank. While others with the BAT file, there is a JPG of a kid with pencils in his ears Other people must be having this same issue.

I currently run Mcafee w/sp4.5.0.534 with scan engine version 4.1.60 and dat 4203 and when I scan these files it reports that NO infections were found.

Can ANYONE please shed alittle light for me??

Thanks SOOOOO MUCH!!!

Forward one to McAfee. You might have to call tech support to find out their policy on this. I know with Sophos if you send an email with the subject of "Suspect File" they will check it. I'm not sure with McAfee. James P. Cottingham

Hi,

The link below has information for submitting suspected virus's to Mcafee / Network Associates.

Hope this helps,

these attachments are from the klez virus. hopefully your virus detection is up to date, as if your not running any your getting an infection. but if your mail server is running mcafee groupshield up to date you have nothing to worry about.

klez grabs a file off the harddrive and attaches it to any mail it sends..... FatesWebb

if you do what I suggested it is not my fault...
