Newest virii on the net. Besides email it also uses Kazaa, so beware:

"The worm also appears to deposit its payload into folders open to users of the Kazaa file-sharing network. Remote users who download those files and run them could be infected."

The attack target may be amusing, but seeing several copies of it and it's (apparent) partner Novarg trying to overfill my Yahoo mailbox is rather irritating. (Novarg is programmed to attack SCO as well)

That's probably the one I got the other day. It was "from" Yahoo, yelping about my "server status." Contained garbled text and an attactment zip file named "text.zip" containing an .exe file disguised as an .htm.

From: sscthunderbird@yahoo.com
To: sscthunderbird@yahoo.com
