Re: Possibly yet another MS mail worm

It's annoying how easily these things spread even though they don't rely on a specific OS vulnerabililty -- hell, it's an executable *in a zipfile*, so it requires opening the zipfile and then running the program inside it. Of course everyone will run it, even though it's named dygfwefuih.exe (random characters before .exe). <grumble>

Being in a zipfile is exactly why these things work: most mail systems nowadays drop executable attachments without mercy, but a zipfile may be a compressed document. Not every mail system screen incoming messages with anti-virus. People writing this worms don't know just a bit about human behaviour, they seem to keep up with trends in mail systems administration as well. Rubens
