New Virus - W32.Erkez.B@mm

Only level 2 but being hit very hard

[Visit Thailand]

Symantec says this virus is only a level 2 but having received over 500 emails in just 5 hours it may increase.

Is anyone else being hit hard by this virus?

The Symantec info does not seem to cover all the subject lines we are getting so perhaps it is more than one virus.

Over 500 emails in just 5 hours (on one address) is pretty bad. Just wondering if there is anyone else experiencing massive virus infected email activity?

I just got the virus a couple minutes ago. I'm on the phone with symantec now.

I am surprised nobody elses has mentioned it as now I am getting tonnes of emails.

Must admit this has me stumped. We have had for the past few days close to 8,000 emails with the virus per day.

For me it is the worse virus ever, but it strangely does not seem to affect other computers that I work with.

Plus what is really weird is that if I leave the computer off for a few hours there will be over 1,000 emails to donwload (with Outlook) but when I log onto the webmail to try and delete them all it says I only have a 100 or so. Very strange.
