VIRUS WARNING!

Upon execution, the variant creates hidden

files and folder

8/6/2008

There is a new Trojan virus out and it's a bad one. It comes to you in the form of an email,

of course. The email looks like it is coming from UPS or FedEx and is informing you of a package or money that could not be delivered.

This email contains a bad virus and should not be opened.

As I have told you in the past, and I will continue to tell you, ALWAYS go directly to the web source to investigate an email claim. Don't open an attachment in the email where you could get a virus. If you get something that appears to be from your bank, then go to your banks site and look it up. Same with your credit card, UPS, whatever. Always go to the source, don't use an email link.

Origins: A common (and unfortunately, effective) technique for luring email users into opening virus-launching attachments is to send messages that would appear to be relevant or important to you, their potential recipients.
