I just received from our Support Center the news about a new virus, see message about the virus below: From: Corporate Support Center Date: September 19, 2001 Re: W32/Nimba Virus W32.Nimda.A@mm is a new mass-mailing worm that utilizes multiple methods to spread itself. The worm sends itself out by email, searches for open network shares, attempts to copy itself to unpatched or already vulnerable Microsoft IIS web servers, and is a virus infecting both local files and files on remote network shares. The Nimda virus uses every trick in the book to spread, say virus experts, including email and IRC - it can even download itself through a browser from infected Web servers. When the worm arrives by email, the worm uses a MIME exploit allowing the virus to be executed just by reading or previewing the file. Also, the worm will create open network shares on the infected computer, allowing access to the system. During this process the worm creates the guest account with Administrator privileges. If you use your preview pane option, please change to the regular view. To do this, from your menu bar go to View à Preview Pane. Name of attachment: README.EXE (This file will NOT be visible as an attachment in the email received). Another worker here also reported getting a suspicious email, here's what she said: I just received a letter from HaHaHa was the name the email came from. When I opened up my email the preview window was open. In the letter was a strange story about Snow white and the dwarves entering . It had an attachment to it. I have deleted the file but I wanted to bring this to everyone's attention. This might be a version of this virus.
