Notify Hannah. Did Norton identify this as Hybris? Let the sender know
the name of the virus (or internet worm or whatever) your av detects.

Reply to address should work.

I think it wasn't "Hannah", but "Hahaha". It may be the Hybris virus,
which is an old one. You can ask ozemail's administrator to put a
filter in their e-mail server... You just can't avoid receiving it, if
they don't put a filter.

If You Use Outlook Express Just Filter it out using  your "message Rules"
option and send it straight to the deleted Items folder..It Was
Hahaha@sexyfun.net .....Snow white and the seven dwarfs I think from
memory....I recieved it 17 times in one day once!.I now do that with all
known Virus Email formats....and any Emails with attachments are
automatically directed straight into a folder I call "Quarantined".and
although they of course can be opened from there it lessens the temptation
to open them by somebody ..other than myself.(If they had arrived directly
into the Inbox).....until I have personally had a chance to scan them for
myself...Thats of course in addition to having up to date AV
software....Firewall....Trojan Monitor.... and Script warning software
 Cheers

Hybris mangles the e-mail header to make it very difficult to identify
where it has come from - and it could have come from anywhere.  

If you can view the headers then it should be possible to figure out
what service provider it came through initially - and they can
usually, given that information, track down the sender (probably a
victim of the virus themself) and let them know.   Saying that they
*can* does not, however, mean that they *will* (sadly) - and, even if
they do, it still does not guarantee that the victim will pay
attention to their service provider.

Hahaha is the "Snow White" virus, or more correctly the Hybris worm.
It's been around for a while now but I find that every couple of weeks
my McAfee Anti-virus picks it on an incoming email as an attachment
and alerts me, so it's still doing the rounds.

Peter.

If you go to www.sexyfun.net it tells you how to get rid of it and ho to
find out where it came from - an antivirus group has bought the domain name.

Yeah, but if his (or her?) email is "gasbaby@ozemail.com.au", then he
can ask the administrator of ozemail (his ISP, I supose) to put an
antivirus filter on their email server so he will not again receive a
virus in his email.

I don't mean a simple email filter, obviously.
