It's a bulk mailer virus aside from collecting your PayPal account info. It's was really annoying as it allowed someone(?) outside to access a password to thier mail server and use it to send junk mail @ a rate of 1,000 a minute. Which ofcourse bounced back to my client and ate up about 3-4 Gigs of space. Took me quite a while to remove from thier entire system, but the Mai Tai's after the job were well worth it. BTW, there are other variations of this virus. Here is a fix is use for them. It's a free repair tool for each variation. mimail.J is the PayPal one mimail.L is a new one with something like wendy.zip as the attachment here you go! [ Edited by: Turbogod on 2003-12-18 08:43 ]
