It seems that all this virus mail so far has come from big@boss.com so
watch this especially but aslo if you receive a suspicious e-mail with
one of the
following subjects:
Re: Here is that sample
Re: Document
Re: Sample
Re: Movies
And an attachment called:
Sample.pif
Untitled1.pif
Document003.pif
Movie_0074.mpeg.pif
frankly - ANYTHING.pif
Observe all the usually anti-virus rules and especially DO NOT OPEN THE
ATTACHMENT or any attachment received suspiciously or unexpectedly.
This one is the Win32.Sobig.worm. More information can be found at:
www3.ca.com/virusinfo/virus.asp?ID=13983
It looks so knew that the anti-virus centres haven't quite caught up
with it yet. Auto updaters are still getting it together (with some
having the virus detection but not "activating" it until the 15th Jan
when they will have had time to test it!!!).
It is rampaging through Australia at this time - since about 12 hours ago.
