red_stag88 Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 A new Microsoft Outlook-specific email worm known as Scold is going around. It sends emails with one of these subjects "When It's Cold Outside She Gives MeWarm Inside" "Re: When It's Cold Outside She Gives MeWarm Inside" "Fw: When It's Cold Outside She Gives MeWarm Inside" and a SCR attachment. (.scr files are usually Screen Savers) If your machine becomes infected, the virus will try to send itself to anyone in your address book – so it may appear that the message is from someone you might ordinarily trust.

ratcatcher Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 thanks red stag for the info, if your running a anti virus program will it catch it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_stag88 Posted December 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Don't know, probably. Just run it regually, and delete any emails with the sentace in the subject if you do that you will probably be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Yes, if its Norton, or MacFee. I don,t know much about the other ones. Apparently, this is a "low level" virus, so most anti-virus programmes should stop it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
