Mac Forum / Applications / Outlook Express / March 2004'my doom' virus on mac
I'm using Outlook 5.03 on mac OS 9 and seem to have the Mydoom virus. All the related anti-virus sites say it doesn't affect macs. Any ideas?

I'm getting a lot of "returned email" in my AOL account. Email that I never sent, to accounts I never heard of. If it's not a virus, what is it? > << David Sandreuter <sandreuter@yahoo.co.uk> wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > it's > not a virus, what is it? the virus on a pc some where is using your email address (taken from the net or usenet) when it sends it self to others Signature------------------------------------------- Swedish Webcams http://zap.to/webcams ------------------------------------------- |
