I was just informed by an old Transfan friend about a virus that's spreading from e-mail to e-mail, named "Graphic Site". Bascially, here's what my friend's e-mail told me:
"Graphic Site is a virus that spreads from email to email. I got it from someone else's email cause it went thru his email address book. Delete when you see this to stop it from happening to you."
Pretty straightforward. You know what to do (or in this case, what NOT to do).

Hmm.. that's tricky, you can't just not open it becuase it's an e-mail with an attachment becuase it from you're buddy.... Thankfully I don't know anybody who would send me anything titled "Graphic Site" ...if it was a site, then wouldn't it be alink?

Meh, I don't know the science behind it, but since my old friend passed on the message to me in a mass e-mail (including some other acqaintances of hers), well, you know the expression "erring on the side of caution".

Hmmm, I'm not too worried. Symantec, McAfee, and Trend Micro are all showing definitions for this bug. Symantec has also classified this as a Category 2 threat, which isn't that dangerous. The only concern I would have is for people with AVG, as Grisoft does not seem to have a definition for this bug yet. So if anyone here uses AVG, be on the alert for the time being.
