I'm still getting copies of this thing emailed to me. 2 days ago, I had 24 of them sent to me. Yesterday only 8, and this morning 2 already.

I only received 3 infected emails. My dad got about 200 of them. He works for Bellsouth here in Orlando. He's involved with their DSL services so he gets a lot of communication from their DSL customers. I guess it figures that the stupid people out there who can't set up their own internet connection would be opening these attachments.

We're stopping it on the scale of 2000 a day at the client I'm at right now.

I think Mouse said Integral is getting about the same amount a day for all their hosted domains.

I should add:

Do not rely solely on your anti-virus software to catch this virus. At the client I'm at now, we run AV in the firewall firmware, on the mail and on the servers and we still got it once all the way to the desktop.

You should run two scanners if at all possible. Check out McAfee Stinger as a sumplemental scanner.

I'm thinking there might be another version that is spoofing the av software. I've had 2 today that Norton did not pick up. they were both .pif files.
