Starting two days ago we have seen a huge increase in emails with the Yaha virus normally with two infected attachments.

Has anyone else seen an increase in apperances ?

Yes! I've had at least 30 of these sent to me in the past week.

Well at least I am not the only one, what with Klez and now this one rearing its ugly head.

Are you using Norton Anti-Virus ? Does it sometimes not manage to quarantine both the attachments and so you end up with your email is still infected warning ?

Do also some of the cleaned messages go straight to the bottom of your inbox and others stay at the top ?

I don't use an antivirus program, but I used the Sophos cleaner to disinfect my system.

Seems to have worked so far!
