Title: Quick Outlook Express question
Post by pubgirl on Mar 25th, 2004, 7:51pm
I have an oddity in Outlook I can't get rid of and need to as it is causing me a security problem.

If I receive 2 or more new messages in my Inbox and I read, then delete one, the next one automatically opens and is there on screen.
I think this may be how Netsky P infected my system (cleaned up now and all references placed by the virus about Britney Spears tits have gone-sad bastard that wrote it!) even though I have auto-update virus protection as I would never knowingly open any email I am suspicious of.

I have checked all the "options' but can't see anything to change to prevent this.

Any ideas?

Wendy

I dont know the answer to your question, Wendy.

But I get this every so often and I never signed up for this thing, can anyone tell me why this website is killing viruses before they reach my mail.....(Below)

This message has been processed by Brightmail(r) Anti-Virus using
Symantec's AntiVirus Technology.

application.zip was infected with the malicious virus W32.Netsky.P.dam and has been deleted because the file cannot be cleaned.

Wendy,
You mean open, as in you double clicked and it created a new window, or do you mean it is open in the preview screen in the bottom of your outlook window?

Rock

Title: Re: Quick Outlook Express question
Post by Rock_Lobster on Mar 25th, 2004, 8:24pm
Oh...  think I know what you are talking about.

You have a mail open.  You click 'delete'.  It brings the next one up in the same window.  

If you happen to be on the last one, it brings up the previous one.

Nope. That is a 'feature'.  No way to stop it.

By the way, for most of the viruses, you need to click on an actual attachment to get infected.  That said, some of the little cockbites are getting pretty fucking creative.  Every freaking senior citizen on my block is getting infected... 'Mr Lobstah... helppppp!'

Mr Lobster man

That's exactly what I mean!

I am now being told that virus writers are managing to put the virus in the email itself rather than just in the attachments. That's why I'm so bothered about this bloody stupid Outlook 'feature'.

Do newer editions of Outlook still have this do you know?

Wendy


P.S. Netsky P bypassed my auto-update Norton anti-virus somehow (NO idea how) and infected over 600 files and created loads of new ones with lovely titles like "Britney Spears cumshots".
I do surf the net, but Britney covered in spunk does nothing for me. How pathetic was the git that wrote that virus.

That nasty embedded scripting functionality has been around for years.  

In Outlook go to Tools / Options / Security.  Click on 'Restricted Site Zones'.  Also click on the two check boxes underneath (assuming you have the same version as I).

You might want to take a look at this.

A guy from the next town over, supposidly got caught "doing the sheep" in his field.  He was not quite all there, mentally.  He used to tell you, if you want to do it, make sure you wear hip boots.  That way you can put the sheep's hind feet in them, and keep them from kicking you.

It WORKS!

Which one do you suggest Root?
Today, after my Daughters birthday festivities, I plan to load up a new mail and browser client.  

Considering Mozilla based on the suggestion of Opus.  Note that I -loathed- Netscape back in it's final incarnations before the AOL acquisition.

Thx,

Post by Opus on Mar 27th, 2004, 12:47pm
Rock,
 Root is beyond windows, he is even beyond linux.

Mozilla is the open source archive of netscape. There is little difference except that netscape has a built in aol messenger and can access Netscape and aol webmail through the mail client. If you like the bleeding edge the newest mozilla beta is out, or for the really bleeding edge get mozilla firefox, firefox doesn't have a mailclient but you can down load it separately. I use Netscape 7.2 on GNU/Linux Mandrake 9.2.

Post by Root on Mar 29th, 2004, 2:22am
Paul:
Commercial software is not necessarily a bad thing IMHO.
Everyones comfort level is different in that respect.
I believe you must make your decision on best of breed and your level of tolerance.
By my benchmarks Opera is a superior product. This does not mean that Mozilla is a bad product.
But then I'm a smug, condensending, arrogant Unix user and that should be taken into account also.

Be careful out there. OK
