New Virus Warning!!!!!!

[Moon_Shine]

Hi,
I received this msg from my Virus programme today,so just to let people know here is the message:
A malware known as Tibs.jy or Luder.A is spamming out massive amounts of malicious New Year greetings cards. They come with variable texts and attachment names, but are always themed around New Year.
Cheers

Thanks for the heads-up.

Also hope you don't mind, I just edited the thread title to be a bit more descriptive so people didn't get alarmed

No need to. I'm sure we all have a pretty similar idea there.

Completely off topic, but something my friends and I still find amusing to this day... I have a close friend here in VIC, his name is David Smith, and his wife is Melissa.

He doesn't know how to program though, let alone write virii! He is a bit of a hardware / ADSL guru though.

FYI, David Smith was the (now jailed) author of the Melissa virus.
