It propagates via email & the payload is a virus loaded zip file.

Update your virus scanners tonight & don't open any zip files that you are not expecting.

The message may be "Hello", but it may change.

The key thing to look for is a zip file from a bogus looking email address. DON"T unzip the file-you will be fine.

If you update your virus scanner tonight, you should be fine-this one "came out" this afternoon.

FYI.....Subject lines also vary. The attachments have ".exe," ".scr," ".cmd" or ".pif" extensions, and may be compressed as a Zip file.


If you don't know, DON"T OPEN SHIT!

Good info on the virus

Dante, worms can come from people you trust, on your email list. #1 rule, always scan before you put anything on your HD

I am getting pounded this AM. A dozen attempts so far. I just delete immediately. So far the virus software has caught them all.
