Virus Alert

My Norton antivirus just caught two viruses in my email. One was marked as sent by "Pudgecav" the subject was "a powerful tool."
The other one had the sender marked as "robertcj" and the subject line said "Access Key." I don't think they were sent by anyone I know, I'm just pasing on a "heads up" to you guys.

I just did a search on Symantec using the keywords you gave and found nothing. Do you have any more info?

I did the same and came up empty. Usually it shows them as a hoax 99% of the time.

I didn't pay any attention to what the virus was identified as. I think I heard about a relatively new virus that uses a bunch of different subject headings, and uses a lot of different sender addresses. Semantic's Norton caught them and I quarrentined them and deleted them before looking for any details.

Norton just caught anther one! I didn't pay attention to the sender or subject, but it said something about "here's your password." Norton identified it as "W32.Klez.gen@ww."
