Netsky Worm
The W32.Netsky.Z@mm worm is a Netsky variant that scans for the email addresses on all non-CD-ROM drives on an infected computer. Then, the worm uses its own SMTP engine to send itself to the email addresses that it finds.
The From line of the email is spoofed, and its Subject, Message, and Attachment vary. The attachment has a .zip extension.

My net connection has been laggy lately. I suspected that it had been a victim of some virus attack and I was right. A worm called Win32 Netsky has been infecting my local drive. I received an e-mail from goshcat whom I thought was Catherine. But when I opened the e-mail which had set itself on high priority, it opened a zip file and installed the worm unto my C:/ drive.
Do not open e-mail that have high priority set or e-mail addresses of people, whom you do not know. Messages like theses will give excuses like the mail has returned due to some transcript problem or something similar. Just delete these messages. Even if you have received it from your friends, be careful it might be the worm replicating itself. Luckily this worm is not malicious and my system still works.
Just some friendly advice.
I didn't play badminton today cause I fell sick. I didn't go to the doctor's though. I have had some bad experiences with doctors in the past so I made a promise not to consult them whenever I get common diseases like flu, cold even fever. You might say that I have lost faith in General Practioners. I hope I'll get better soon.
