Just received some info on a new virus that\’s just been discovered, and has begun making its way around. The following is from Symantec\’s web site:
\”W32.Frethem.K@mm is a worm, and is a variant of W32.Frethem.B@mm. It uses its own SMTP engine to send itself to email addresses that it finds in the Microsoft Windows Address Book and in .dbx, .wab, .mbx, .eml, and .mdb files. The email message arrives with the following characteristics:
Subject: Re: Your password!
Attachments: Decrypt-password.exe and Password.txt\”
You\’d think after all this time that people would stop opening suspicious attachments, but curiosity gets the best of some folks. What\’s that saying about an ounce of prevention being worth a pound of cure…?More, if you want it.
