someone on here prob had a virus, please read!!!!
i got an e-mail from misskittyfantastic which was identified as having the bugbear virus.
now bugbear substities another e-mail address from the address book of the sender as the shown address so she didnt send it to me but since the e-mail has her address and was sent to me, you should know that others of you may have been sent it.
i dont know if the address will be the same, or the title for that matter but the sender is kelly@kellywilson.co.uk and the subject is Re: Pic
check all e-mails with attachmemts before opening from anyone from T21. 1 of us has this virus.

We had a bugbear email come through at work and the virus scanner we use there had only made an update available later that day.
Might just be a reminder to check your online updates

Cat, yes, definitely 100% Kosher email 
Just to be on the safe side I did a full scan of my machine while I was out at the cinema and it found nothing.

Cool
Posted: 00:40 Oct 21 2002 Be aware that one of BugBear's little tricks is to disable virus scanners. So when you perform a scan it doesn't find anything!

Taken from antivirus.com:-
This worm propagates via shared network folders and via email. It also terminates antivirus programs, acts as a backdoor server application, and sends out system passwords – all of which compromise security on infected machines.
As a backdoor, this worm allows remote users to connect to infected systems and obtain information, manipulate files, and execute programs on the infected systems.

loosk like this thing may have evolved. 2 friends also received it in genuine e-mails they would normally open but the person who it should have been from didnt send them.
i think it may have evolved to look like a genuine e-mail (or one you've already had).
i have no idea how it's changed but if i ever get my hands of one of these virus writers... well, lets just say it's going to be messy!
