it seems two virus writers are having a war..
f-secure.com/v-descs/netsky_f.shtml

NetSky.F worm variant was found on 3rd of March 2004. This variant spreads itself in e-mails as an executable attachment.

The following text string is present in the worm's body:


Skynet AntiVirus - Bagle - you are a looser ! ! ! !

This indicates an on-going competition/war among virus writers of the currently widespread malware: Bagle and NetSky. This NetSky worm variant tries to remove Bagle worm infection if it finds it on an infected computer.

so in other words they are so bored with writing viruses that they are having a turf war with other virus writers.

A buddy of mine let his Norton expire, got a virus, lost everything. I got one same way, but was able to get info back. Got norton back, bought an external HD, transfered all info I wanted to it (norton stopped the virus from going over), reinstalled everything.

My company got nailed with the "lovebug" virus years ago. We are talking an email address of about 18000 people. Know who opened it? IT. 4 different people in IT, to be exact.

As I don't delete mail-servers on my mail-server (I want to see where they come from and notify the ISP the sender is using in order to get down the bandwidth used) I can get quite a bit of viruses at times.

Though, what does annoy me is that quite a few ISPs does not really take action on the notices I send out in a standard form with full info, or they act very slow - as netcabo.pt to mention one example; a user from this ISP is still pumping out viruses after over a week's time, and probably the ISP did not notify him / her and cut his / hers connection to the net 'til the problem is fixed.
