Latest  Virus Warning!
A new variant of W32/Sobig virus is out: it is the W32/Sobig.f@MM, a High Risk mass-mailing worm.
- It arrives as an email attachment with a .pif or .scr extension.
- If it manages to run, it infects not only the host computer, but also the emails (using its own SMTP engine), and then on to harvested email addresses from the victim's machine.
- When it propagates, the worm spoofs the "from: field", using one of the harvested email addresses.
Check your system: The worm copies itself onto the infected machine as: C:\WINNT\WINPPR32.EXE
Be on the Alert: An infected email can come from addresses you recognize and may contain any of the following information:
Subject:
