http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_100983.htm A high-risk mass-mailing worm affecting home and business users. Spreads via email and Kazaa. New virus updates were available from around yesterday (I think).
The Styx mailboxes contained around 150 of these this morning, so there are already a lot of visitors to this forum who are probably already infected. The virus emails seem to be around 30Kb. Many of the ones I saw contained a file called "text". This virus also invents email addresses and includes them as the "sent" user - many of the emails we got were sent from john @ styxwetworld.com (and colin and patrick etc etc) and were being returned to us. Of course, we didn't send them!
You have been warned! Update your antivirus software now! If you have Microsoft email software and don't run antivirus protection, you are asking for trouble and putting everyone on this forum at risk.
