All of the email sections are being produced by the bug grabbing random 
sections and sending if u have vunerable client. the buggs are getting 
smarter so that they can spread by looking ligit as the case with the last 
few outbreaks. read the discription on symantic they even have a free 
removal tool for this last one. Computer being on all time or not it only 
takes a momnet to spread if precations not taken.

Mine stays on 24/7 with DSL but I do have a router and I just started
closing Outlook Express at night. I transfer files between home and shops at
night so I need them on.

 > Hi fellow techs,
 >
 > Just wondering if people on techassist are leaving their computers on all
night, and if they are, would this contribute to what is happening right now
on techassist?  It seems like the hackers are "looking" into our computers
and getting old emails etc and adding viruses to them.  I know that if you
are on high speed internet people try to hack in more than if you are just
on dial-up.
