Welcome to ValleyNet : ValleyNet KnowledgeBase : Security : ''Simpsons'' virus

''Simpsons'' virus

June 2001There is an e-mail virus making the rounds that affects Macintosh users of Microsoft's Outlook Express. The e-mail message in question alleges to contain lost episodes of The Simpsons television program, but the script file it actually contains can make changes on your computer and will re-send itself to the addresses in your address book.
For more information on this virus visit the Symantec web page dealing with it.
There is also information about this virus on this MacInTouch page.
Needless to say, if you receive a copy of this e-mail virus, you should delete the enclosure or attachment immediately without opening it.
