GO TO WWW.SEXYFUN.NET (http://WWW.SEXYFUN.NET) FOR ALL THE INFO YOU WOULD EVER WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE SNOW WHITE VIRUS

Thanks for the explanation, scotter.

I find it strange that the website claims it is in no way responsible for the virus. It says, "This site is completely dedicated to helping people fight the Hybris virus. Please understand that." If that's so, why would they have chosen the domain name, sexyfun.net?

that web site never existed untill after the viruse was released some peeps desided that sence the virus was reporting that addy the easyest way to get the word out about how to stop it and or remove it from infected computers was to register that name and creat the site
kind of nice of them if you ask me http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

I have received the Snow White message several times in the past 2 weeks. Fortunately, Norton AV catches it each time. However, since the sender is hahaha, does that mean it is being maliciously sent by someone? It seems like all other recent viruses are generated from an infected Address Book, giving the impression the message has been sent by a friend or acquaintance.
