Worms in Yahoo??

[Guest]

I use Yahoo Mail, and I've been getting about 10 "virus" emails a day. 120 kish emails. Often when I click on the attachment the email appears empty, but if I click on "download attachments" to make visible (this step does not RUN the attachments, just makes all the file names visible) then theres about 5 or 6 little things there. I figured, hey, I'm using the free email account yahoo, there's no way that stuff can touch me like how it messes up outlook (nice security their M$!)

However, I've been getting a few of these emails:



From: "postmaster" <[email protected]> | Add to Address Book

To: [email protected]

Subject: Returned mail--"Mana Potion"



Send to Yahoo! for review


The following mail can't be sent to [email protected]:

From: [email protected]
To: [email protected]
Subject: Mana Potion
The file is the original mail


Now the above looks like the Yahoo "Postmaster" bouncing back an undeliverable mail. It could be someone just faking the yahoo postmaster, but why would they bother to do that if Yahoo is worm-proof... is it possible that my Yahoo account is infected??

I always use a web browser with Yahoo... never outlook or any real mail program.

it sounds like a variant of W32.Klez.H@mm

check Wargasm's link for a removal tool

and/or check www.symantec.com if you like.
