When I access our site, I sometimes receive a Trojan horse virus -" Achtung" something. It's always the same virus, and i only receive it when I open our Bbboy site.

It only emerges when I access this site. Norton Anti-Virus always catches it (I hope). I googled the "Achtung" virus, and all listed sites were in German.

From Norton:
W32.Netsky.P@mm
Discovered on: March 21, 2004
Last Updated on: March 31, 2004 11:58:01 AM
As of March 22, 2004, due to an increase in submission rate, Symantec Security Response has upgraded W32.Netsky.P@mm (also known as W32.Netsky.Q@mm) to a Category 3 level threat from a Category 2 threat.
W32.Netsky.P@mm is a mass-mailing worm that uses its own SMTP engine to send itself to the email addresses it finds when scanning the hard drives and mapped drives. The worm also tries to spread through various file-sharing programs by copying itself into various shared folders.
The From line of the email is spoofed, and its Subject line and message body of the email vary. The attachment name varies with the .exe, .pif, .scr, or .zip file extension.
This worm also uses the Incorrect MIME Header Can Cause IE to Execute E-mail Attachment vulnerability to cause unpatched systems to auto-execute the worm when reading or previewing an infected message.
This threat is compressed with FSG.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note:
Symantec Consumer products that support Worm Blocking functionality automatically detect this threat.
The worm's executable has a static MD5 hash value of 0x0A9FFA57D65083C92E0D3D69B00F2F0D.
Rapid release definitions dated March 21, 2004 or March 22, 2004 may detect this threat as W32.Netsky.Q@mm.
Symantec Security Response has developed a removal tool to clean the infections of W32.Netsky.P@mm.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also Known As: W32.Netsky.Q@mm, W32/Netsky.p@MM [McAfee], Win32.Netsky.P [Computer Associates], NetSky.P [F-Secure], W32/Netsky.P.worm [Panda], W32/Netsky-P [Sophos], WORM_NETSKY.P [Trend]

Achtung is different then the email problems others have stated. Achtung is a keylogger trojan. Keyloggers typically need to be in physically installed onto the computer that is infected. My guess would be that you already have the achtung.exe ON your computer, since it is a trojan that tries to log information such as passwords and the likes, Norton probably throws up the warning when you are the board because you are logging in triggering the trojan.... the board is not infected, your computer is.
As for the emails, netsky worm would not be embedded in bbboy's email servers anyway. I am quite sure they are guarded from such things as any major buisness/corporation is. I turn away, on average, at least 20 emails a day of the same virus with their attachments at my office email. The same goes for anyone else in this building that frequently receives emails in from infected people. Our company is not infected, it is those who've come infected with this special worm emailing us who are. As Nickdisc stated, it acts as a ghost, trying to make you think it is something legitamte from someone you know or has contacted you before. Again using the company I work for as an example, the virus sends an email out simular to what ours actually is. Example: ours would be something like administrator@thenet.com, we have found the virus ghosts that as theadministration@thenet.com which is in no way affiliated with anything of our company NOR sent out by our systems. Long rambling short, the chances you are receiving any of this stuff from bboy is extremely weak.

Thank you for answering..  Ok.. I guess we just tolerate receiving the emails? and make sure our Norton is up to date? I guess I will contact my host server.. and ask if there is a way to have them deleted before they hit my email.. and how can I change my email address with BBBoy? is there a way of taking my addy your server..? Thank you again Debbey from: Rock n Rolla

Another member of our board posted that she is receiving a virus when she accesses this site, too. And it only happens when we access this site. I do research on my home computer, and click on hundreds of links every week. The only time I receive a Norton virus warning is when I check my board, here.
