Title: Workplace Virus
Post by: peanut butter puddin surprise on Jun 04, 2004, 10:37 AM
Holy shiite.  Got a bad worm or trojan here at work, endless disk activity, the exchange mail queue fills up with the same 2 messages over and over again, even though i've disconnected it from the internet...all apps are crawling slow....no virus found when scanning.  (all updates are installed)

WTF?  any ideas out there?

You might have spyware.Do you have any programs installed  to get rid of these,like Adaware?

turned out it was a mass email sent with a 12mb attachment...sent to 3000 folks with less than accurate addys.  the activity was the exchange server retrying each addy, over and over and over...
