New York, NY | Mine came from register@cigna.com, sent through an Italian dynamic address. It's quite rare that I receive viruses on that account so it really must be wide spread. |

said by Chizep  :Getting hit with it here at my job right now. Forutnately none of the users have been stupid enough open the zip and execute the contents. I haven't seen any copies at work yet, though there was
an unspecified warning about a new email virus sent by IT
and for all users to delete attachments from unknown
senders. I was not sure which it was until I had read
about the latest Sober variants.
None of my other email accounts have gotten hit yet.

Just to clear things up. We do have virus scanning on our e-mails. One of my professors said last year that they process about 2 million messages per day. I beleive it was when MyDoom or another virus hit campus, before the definitions were even created, there were 10 million e-mails in a 4 hour period. It literally brought the servers to a standstill and they were down for at least 3 days while they processed the backlog of mail. The campus really took a hit, so much that we do these days relies on e-mails whether it be pdf quizes or announcements. |

Our campus has greater than 12,000 e-mail infecting of new Sober series, with no successful infect of computers.
NOD32 is stopping him since Monday, now by name, but as the unknown virus before update. |

| Tim dob, you should get the removal tool from here: »securityresponse.symantec.com/av···ool.html
You'll have to reinstall LiveUpdate afterward, since Sober.O deletes it.
Well, I had my first hit this morning. The subject on my sample is "Your email was blocked" and the attachment was named mail_info.zip.
