New Virus

I think I've discovered a new mass mailing worm. Over the weekend there were thousands of emails passing through my server to aol. After investigating the emails & attached files, I noticed that no anti-virus scanner has detected these are viruses.

After personally investigating the email code, I have come to the conclusion it does actually edit outlook express settings. I'm not sure exactly what it does, but this thing does send out emails.

I'm going to forward this onto a few anti-virus companies for their reveiw.

This is a nasty virus for server admins like myself because if your on the receiving end of all these emails, it can cause a few problems.

I'll keep you posted on this.

Andy
