New virus on the loose - W32.Yaha.F@mm

[DutchMaster]

I receive virusses all the time lately but not at this speed as this one. Its quite wild one and it quite boomed here in the Netherlands the last 2 days. I received already 12 mails only today, which is more than I received the klezz ever.

It was even on national news and I wonder how long it takes until its booming in the USA.
So watch out for these emails like:
Check ur friends Circle !

Read symantec to detect the mails or better virus scan your incoming mails:

I have recieved this virus, and it is quite impressive! I have it locked down on my computer till norton can update its scanner lol

I ran the program on my test machine and it caused all sorts of 'fun' things to happen lol

Recived three emails with it. Deleted them all cause the headers all smelled of virus from miles away.

The webmaster email list I'm on got bombarded by a WHOLE LOT of these last week from somebody in Italy. It's a Bad Thing when you get at least 30 of them, at 42k each.. I figured it was a virus but I didn't know which one it was.

I just don't get the antisocial attitude the virus writers who release their stuff have.. I think it's one thing if you write the program but distributing it is quite another.

I havent seen this one yet. I appreciate the heads up though.


Thanks...

I get viruses daily in my email. Norton 2002. Daily.
