Is delivered mail (carefull!)

Hi

It seems that you have been infected by some kind of virus and that virus is sending messages to this list in the hopes of infecting other ones.

Luckiliy for us, most GIMP users are using some kind of 'nix distribution and cannot be infected by this virus which is w32/bagle.bl@mm according to the AVERT Labs virus email analyzer.

But since I heard about ports of the GIMP to windows I hereby advice ALL WINDOWS USERS DO NOT OPEN THE MESSAGE "Re: Is delivered mail" instead DELETE IT (if you are using outlook, disable the preview pane before trying to delete the message and also delete the message from the trashcan)

With kind regards

Andy

You should check headers before saying who is infected. Virus masks the real source,

Ok you're right but it doesn't matter. The most important part of the message is the warning for others since everyone subscribed on this list will have gotten the message with the infected exe file in it.

Just doing my civic duty

Kind regards

Then, how would you suggest they read your warning? :-0

Chances are nobody else on the GIMP list got it in the first place.

The infected machine sent it To: an e-dress it found locally.

The From: e-dress is one also found locally.

In this case, the infected machine had both Andy's e-dress in it as well as the gimp-users list e-dress.

The virus didn't go through the list.

Regards,

Bill Lee

Well It seems that even Andy sometimes makes a mistake ...

The advice should therefore read

I hereby advice ALL WINDOWS USERS DO NOT OPEN THE MESSAGE "Is delivered mail" instead DELETE IT (if you are using outlook, disable the preview pane before trying to delete the message and also delete the message from the trashcan)

The difference is subtle but big

Andy,
Would you happen to have the original email? I don't believe that I have any viruses on my system; I'm running Thunderbird, Firefox, and the version of Symantec without the vulnerabilities that have just been reported. However, I'd like to see the headers on that email; while it's easy to forge them, there is always the possibility that I do have a virus and need to do something about it.

Thanks, Matt

There is a very common virus passing technique beening used these days whereby an email address is harvested from a list archive and used to send a virus infected email to the list. So, that being said, it is impossible to determine if the sender of the virus without viewing the headers of the email.

If Andy could forward the headers of that email to you, that would be sufficient in deteriming whether it was spoofed or not.
