F-secure also has a level 1 alert out

Just wondering: how do you read this name - netsky

Like Gretzky or like net sky?

 

[.: Mac :.]

I have no idea !
what is it called under avast?

[Vlk]

Avast calls it Netsky-B, too.
I was talking about the pronounciation, though

[.: Mac :.]

I pronounce it net-ski. just my opinion

[The Hurricane]

net-sky as the name says i think

[REDACTED]

I've just received a couple of attack attempts by Netsky.B, promptly blocked ty Avast!
I'm hearing nothing about it, does anyone know how hard is it really hitting the Net?

[RejZoR]

I don't know why is this virus at Alert Level 1!?. I have only got 1 till now via mail.
MyDoom was much more anoying

[Pavel Baudis]

Well, we are seeing meny Netsky-B right now - much more than Beagle-B for instance. But I think this could vary from country to country....

[.: Mac :.]

F-secure has changed this threat to a level 2 (code orange) threat.
when I emailed them they said they are not seeing as big of an outbreak they thought they would.
