email with price.zip attached
Is there a new virus running around over the past hour or so?
Getting more than a handful of emails containing and attached file called price.zip -- but not getting a norton message (hmmmmmm) Just wondering.

I have seen several of them show up in the ticket system also. So, I decided to run a live update on my Norton's but there are currently no new virus definitions.

Takes a while for the AV vendors to recognize a new virus, develop a fix, test it, and package it for distribution. Fix prpagation is measured in hours. Virus propagation in minutes. The viruses spread faster than the fixes.
Was reading on CERT or some similar site that they expect to see instant messager type viruses this year that infect a couple of hundred thousand machines within 30 seconds of release. They also noted the faster propagation of email born virii. I've got a lot of anti-virus stuff in place, but have been changing my mind-set from thinking that I might not get a virus to thinking that I certainly will. Doing more frequent backups.

Norton's just updated their virus definitions, so if you have live updates you can go ahead and grab them or it will download for you when you reboot.
