Hi.

Someone who corresponds with both Terazawa and Krast has a computer infected with this destructive virus.

For information about this virus, please consult:

An up-to-date virus protection program will protect you from this virus.

Read Magyar's topic for more info.

I'll post a note on the mainpage.

The virus comes as an attachment and is destructive when opened in Outlook (Express). It eats its way into executables and progressively ruins your installation.

The e-mails I have received were sent by fake senders, mostly with names of members of this community. I received one from elmarkoffear with the attachment.

I backed up my entire system and let the virus do its work afterwards. Then I tried to solve the problems with a number of virus protectors.

In the mails I received there were three different versions of the named virus. All were recognised by Norton AntiVirus and E-Trust from Computer Associates. These were both able to repair the infected files. McAfee detected them, but could only quarantaine the infected files and not repair them.

I advise you to keep your virusprotection up to date and download the latest virus definitions.

Also, problems can be avoided by either using web based mail, or disabling the preview pane in Outlook (Express). Delete sustpect mails on sight. Better to miss one valid mail than your entire system.
