Hi, the Worm you´re reffering too is an explicit Outlook Express / Outlook / IE Newsreader Worm. It has nothing to do with JS or Webistes: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/wscript.kakworm.html

Despite from the "problem" we´re facing here:

A suggestion from an IT professional:
Can you guys move the whole web to an Apache-based webserver? Apache (which runs on WindowsNT, Linux, FreeBSD, AIX, Solaris...) is known for its solidity and securiy. Qwest carries Apache as well. MS-IIS + Windows2000 , unfortunately are not very secure nor reliable. How difficult it would be to do move the whole site? Apache supports .asp and things usualy considered "Microsoft only". You would get better reliability (uptime), if managed in a usual way, no security issues, is less expensive (if you have to pay for the software, like Qwest. So I do not know if this actualy translates to the "end users", like MatrixGames), better handling of heavy traffic loads, less resource-intensive (so the same machine can do more work)... and no users complaining about a worm gotten from your site.
I agree 100%

Im aware that the worm is related to OE, but I did go from virus free (according to Norton) to being infected after letting the script run (according to Norton). I still get the alert of a script. As my grandmother used to say, something isn't kosher in denmark. Galahad

I get a warning ocasionally from McAfee too. It just says that I should delete a certain file manually, because it can not do it automatically or something like that. But that file is nowhere to be found on the computer.

If I recall correctly, it doesn't say it cannot delete it, it says it cannot 'repair' it. There's also an option to quarantine it. It don't seem to have a problem deleted it, as your not being able to find it shows. (Updated after I got on at home and dared get on this website with the trojan irritatingly still hammering away)- Actually I was incorrect, it doesn't say it cannot 'repair' the trojan, it says it cannot 'clean' it. Those dirty trojans! [ October 19, 2001: Message edited by: Charles_22 ]

Yay! The Trojans wannabes have beat a hasty retreat. Thanks guys!
