Hi all,

I noticed that I started receiving a lot of Mail Failure notices to people that I don't know, supposedly sent by me, wuth the subject line;"Here is that file that you asked for ".

If you are experiencing the same or have received this message in Windows:

Error Starting Progam
A required .DLL file, MSVBM60.DLL, was not found.

You may have this worm.

Check this sit for more info:

If YOU are receiving these junk fake Microsoft e-mails (often with attachments) it means YOUR computer is infected. You need to update your antivirus program (they all have fixes for whatever the infection) and ask the antivirus provider the procedures you need to follow to rid your computer completely of the problem. Many of the antivirus infection "healings" don't get the problem out of your system, just temporarily interrupt its activities.

Thanks for your reply.

My computer has Sophos Antivirus and is updated everytime a new description is received (numerous times in a 24 hour period) In addition I have scanned my computer with Norton, and Trend Micro, and manually searched for the files. All are negative.
