Again not on any Opel subject, but concerning this virus, go into your address book and add a new contact called aaaa@anywhere.com, The virus will try to start at the top of your address book and work its way down through your contacts. Since there is no one named aaaa@anyware.com, it stops with you. HTH Jarrell

 

I have read recently that creating the "fake" email address doesn't stop the virus at all. The virus does a mass mailing to all addresses in your address book. The "fake" address bounces back to you as "undeliverable", a clue to you that the virus is on your computer. Meanwhile the "real" people in your address book are receiving the virus. The best method to stopping the virus is to make sure your anti-virus program is up to date and scanning all incoming emails.

 

You could very well be correct Jeff. I run 2 firewalls on our computers. One a hardwall, the other, software and McAfee's virus scan, plus 2 or 3 other spyware programs. paranoia, I guess. Jarrell

One other thing about this virus, it will go to a back door and allow the hacker to input commands to your computer. For us and our personnal PCs, a way to access our identity if personal data is in the system. For corporations, corporate theft is possible. A bad situation all the way around.
