> To All SSI Micro Users,
>
> There is a new and particularly nasty email worm circulating the
Internet
> which we thought you should be aware of. The email containing the
virus is
> titled "new photos from my party!" and contains the text:
>
> "Hello!/My party... It was absolutely amazing!/I have attached my web
page
> with new photos!/If you can please make color prints of my photos.
Thanks!"
>
> The attached file is entitled www.myparty.yahoo.com, posing as a URL
for a
> Yahoo!-hosted website. It is actually an executable file.
>
> The worm spreads by attempting to trick victims into opening a file
> promising entertaining party snaps. Once executed the worm sends
itself to
> everyone in the victim's address book - appearing to come from the
infected
> machine's owner.
>
> As such when future recipients receive the virus, it will most likely
come
> from a friend or colleague, increasing the likelihood of it being
opened.
