Your donuts are in the mail...

New Variant of BUGBEAR  - PE_BUGBEAR.B (Medium Risk)
PE_BUGBEAR.B is a destructive, file-infecting variant of WORM_BUGBEAR.A that affects Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, and
XP platforms.

The "attachment" was initially detected as ""suspicious" by Zone Labs software firewall.

Note: ZoneAlarm Pro comes preconfigured with 46 attachment types that can carry worms or other harmful code. By
default, ZoneAlarm Pro quarantines all of these attachment types.

IN any case... Norton Pro 2003 Anti-Virus then further quarantined the quarantined attachment and I manually deleted
it.

Some worms uses SMTP commands to obtain an SMTP server to propagate. The worm sends an email using the Incorrect MIME
Header Exploit which causes Internet Explorer to automatically execute the email attachment without the recipient
opening it.

Latest Security Patches from Microsoft negate this Security breach...

ONE more point of interest...

The From: line indicates this eMail is from "Brightline" <[log in to unmask]>

Does raj (brightline) suddenly have an email address on Kathrynne Holden's server? Doubtful...

the raw data in the header says....

X-Symantec-TimeoutProtection: 0

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmm...

RAJ.... Your 'puter has a bad bug...

a.) it originated on raj's PC at his eastlink.ca server... not Kathrynne's... (ie: Brightline
<[log in to unmask]> was "spoofed")

b.) it was sent to individual addresses in raj's address book...

c.) interesting that no data appears to identify the mailer software... is it blocked by this bug?
( raj uses Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1158 , which is susceptible to this virus...)

d.) ( janet uses QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Light Version 3.0.6 (16) as her choice of eMail client software... , which is
NOT susceptible to this virus... I use Pegasus Mail for Windows (v4.11) for the same reason...)

e.) SpamAssassin 2.55 did not transfer the attachment on janet's PC in any case...

f.) I don't think this went to the PARKINSN LIST ( John C.'s software prolly stopped it... wasn't received in any
case...)

g.) raj... you should consider virus protection right away...

cheers ....... murray
